Aftermarket deck or amp which way to go?

[Spades]

well, very rarely will popping a amp on improve sound quality, cause its still amplifying the source....its only as good as the signal it recives.

this is even more true when you are going "cheap" and dont want to spend money.

what I would suggest, either buy a aftermarket deck, or buy a cheap amplified subwoofer tube and a line converter if it doesnt have one.

either get a deck that can drive the speakers, or get a small powered subwoofer if you want bass. almost everything else will be wasted money or not as good of a solution. expect to spend around 150 bucks or to be disappointed.

I dont want to end up putting in a subwoofer. Actually the subs in my door panels are pretty decent when the volume is low. Sounds almost as good as my acura with 2 12s . Except when the volume is turned up there is a obviouse difference.

I plan to put 6x9s in the back maybe 2 ways. To help balance things out.

I think i may end up putting ina double din deck for the front. And have to buy a new bezel since i have intergrated cd player.

Anyone happen to know th epart number or where i can buy that silver bezel that is on the base model yaris that has the non intergrated cd player

And also what are some good high power low cost double din decks.

I am willing to spend up to 300. minus install

Any money i save can go to get higher quality rear speakers

why are you going to save up for high quality rear speakers when you sit in the front? you should put more money in the front since thats your soundstage.
