first thing you need to do is rip up the back seat. second make a 12 cu. foot box to fit your 4 15" subs in the back seat.

im joking. this isnt a good question we need more info. ex. what music you like, are you a young kid that just wants to look cool with bass? budget, desired quality ext.

so give us more info please

I'm looking for something far from a "system" and I do listen to some rap but I'm really into music. I consider myself somewhat of an audiofile so Im looking for some really nice replacement speakers. Sub is optional

start by looking at my build log (link in sig) to see what that car looks like apart.

you have a lot of options.

we need a budget - total budget for everything.

nothing is "plug and play" you need an amplifier to power your new front conmponent speakers. you can keep the factory head unit if you wish. run new wiring to any new speakers (it's very easy in that car).

i had what i considered a very basic SQ system for a while - and even used the stock head unit.

now, i have an "extreme" sound system - all for sound quality and an accurate sound stage.

this is bias cause im a rockford fosgate fan but for a quick plan id get...
RF R150-2 amp, RF P152-S component speakers(if they can fit your car; they will fit mine but mines a coupe so double check) and id recommend buying the wires separate.(but if the amp is close you might get away with a kit) i bought a kit and the power and RCA cables were too short but i ran it to the very back. if you want it on the back of the back seat you should be fine with a kit.
i dont know how to hook up an amp to a stock deck ive only used decks with pre- outs(RCA outputs. the pre means pre amp or something) so ask hope about that whoha

Hertz Audio has a very nice line of speakers, subs, and amps.
