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

keep ur subwoofers in odd numbers, better sound production either go with 1 or 3 or even 5 if u balla.  JL audio is a must.  I had 3 8 inch W0's and upgraded to 3 12 inch W6's.  Turned out waste of money, hits harder but isnt as clean.

Who told you that? I've never heard that before.

Also, wiring three subs to one amp is typically going to present a weird load to the amp, unless you go with something like a trio of 10w6s that have dual 3 ohm voice coils or something.

What kind of music do you listen to? I take it that since you're not into rap much you like your system to have pretty good SQ...is that a correct assumption?

I worked for a car audio shop in my teen days.......He kind of has it right, but if you run 3 speakers you want 3 amps, not one amp for 3 speakers......You will fry that amp!
