Hey,
I have been looking to get new speakers in my 03 VY Commodore but I know next to nothing about any Audio components/speakers.
Basically what I want to change is there are some songs I have on my iPod where the bass through the factory car speakers just sounds horrible, they make a tinny kind of sound if the music is up loud enough (which in my opinion isn't even that loud). I am fine with how everything else sounds.
I just want the bass to be able to sounds better when higher volume. I know usually you need an amp and sub for this but I don't know anything about those either and every time I have seen these installed in friends cars etc. they all seemed to be installed right where I have the Gas Tank in my car? Is there somewhere else it can be placed (I noticed the 2 slots on the shelf under the window in the back).
So, I don't want to spend a fortune, preferably only about $300. I know its best to buy something big so you don't have to upgrade later but I am not an audiophile and am happy with how everything sounds except the horrible bass so wouldn't be upgrading for a long time/if at all. Any ideas on what to get would be great, preferably from somewhere like JB Hi Fi as they are nearby. I'd be happy to give it a crack installing myself if its not too hard.
The headunit I have in the car at the moment isn't the factory one if that makes a difference, it is:
Sony 208 Watt MP3/CD with iPod/USB
CDXGT600UI
Sony 208 Watt MP3/CD Tuner With iPod/USB - CD Tuners - JB Hi-Fi - Smashing Prices!
Thanks.
