If you want to be real cheap (Like me)....get a trunk sub...maybe a JL Stealthbox if you don't want to lose trunk space...and turn your bass all the way down on your factory speakers. Sounds decent...really loud. Didnt cost me much (I spent about $800 for a badass trunk sub/box/amp)...
Make sure to get a bass control knob if you go this route...because you will NOT be able to control the bass in the trunk via i-drive and it the sound will NOT be proportionate at some volume levels.

Thanks for the suggestion Nelson.
So it looks like 2 8"Subs for under the seats; 2 midrange for the doors; and 2 tweeters for the highs. The amp will power the subs I take it or the whole system? Will this render the remaining original speakers (center & rears) useless or are they still powered by the HU?

and he said he didn't want to add a trunk sub. A sub should never overpower your front stage speakers, if it does its time to upgrade them. My subs only play the super low notes 20-50hz... i let my midbass do the work.
Nelson:
I don't seem the privilege to PM, but how would I get a quote for Jehnert system you recommend. What amp would you suggest I go with; would this replace the stock amp? I have the basic, 10-speaker sound system in my car. I want an improvement in sound quality, not bass you can here for miles.
Thanx!

This definitely sounds like the solution for me. Do I order directly from Jehnart or is there a distributor/shop in the Los Angeles area that you may know of? Thanks again Nelson.

a trunk sub is done by tapping a line and therefore offers no control outside a bass control knob (unless you have a ms-8 maybe). I have an $800 dollar trunk sub/stock highs and my sound is painfully loud.
You could produce the same results I'm sure with a cheaper sub and a properly ported box for $500-600. The reason being is that my box isn't ported into the cabin and a lot of the sound is absorbed by the thick rear trunk wall.

Regarding the amp question, yes a new amp will be required and it will replaces the OEM.
How much you want to spend on an amp?
