Any suggestions for an audio illiterate kid, suggestions for good audio equipment? Options

Alright my situation is I am trying to upgrade my sound system and I am blind when it comes to that area of cars. I am looking for a good sounding system but one that I can get for a decent price as I am just a teenager working as a lifeguard. So I was hoping some of you guys might help me out. I don't know if it was a mistake or not but I already got sony explod 6.5's in the front (no clue what sony explod's rate against other companies, crap...decent?) Anyway I am looking to get a new head unit b/c my old one is trash, some rear speakers, a nice amp, and some subs nothing to big because I am not really a rap fan but I like the idea of three subs so I was thinking of three 10's or maybe better three 8's. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Everyone has there own opinons when it comes to headunits, subs, and etc....

Personly I like alpine and kenwood for headunits. Your best bet is to goto best buy and start turning them on and checking them out.

This would be the same for speakers. But one thing I know. If you use 10inch subs you need 3, 12inch subs you need 2, and 15inch sub you need 1. 10's and 15's you want a odd number of speakers, and 8's and 12's you want a even number of subs. Also the larger the sub, the more distortion you would have. A 10inch sub will hit hard, and quick, where a 15inch sub will hit very hard and echo alittle.


Just my 2 cents!
