stock stereo to maybe 2 10's

    i recently bought an automatic 99 maro..it came with the stock monsoon head unit, n then whatever speakers come with it..i like to have my music loud, n the bass bumpin', im thinkin to go with 2 10's unless its too much of a hassle.. since there is small space in the trunk and back seats( should i take the back seats out also for the stereo) i really need suggestions as to this is my first car, me being a 20 year old, so id like to get this stereo on it soon...lemme know maro heads, and im also looking to upgrade the exhaust, CAI, not sure which one make a better difference thought, or maybe one 12, please lemme know asap, i cant wait for the bass

I will post pictures later of my setup but you can't just add subs alone to your head unit i am pretty sure. Maybe if you can it won't exactly sound right, either way I would suggest also getting an amp for your car. And what is your question about the back seats and removing them? There is no space behind them for anything and it looks bad to just completely remove them simply for something as small as a couple tens, it also attracts the wrong kind of people to steal your stuff.

Here is a pic of my setup.  http://photo.xanga.com/CAMAROZ2899/00678169145894/photo.html 

i would do dual 10s or dual 12s, both will fit.   do you have T-tops???

You know I didn't even think of that. If you don't have t-tops I would put them down in that hole , they will be hidden better from potential thieves.

 
yep, but that doesnt really help much either, when you pull up to your work/house and it's blairing.. people are gonna know lol =)

Yeah but I would think that most people aren't going to ripoff someone they know, atleast it isn't in plain site for people who see the car parked somewhere.

true.  my cuousin had his camaro broke into when he was 16, when it was at mall, under a light, and they stole all his CDs, didnt touch his stereo system though, but he lost a good 4+ grand of CDs... well his dad, my uncle is a a 2nd to top rank prison gaurd, and his **** father was a sheriff, and they ended up finding out it was his best friend that did it, needless to say he went to jail for a while, paid for all damage to the car, and he got his CDs back.

who the hell has that many CDs...?

Yeah i threw my sound system in the hole.. putting it on that hump right in the window is like sticking a "free" sign on it.

Meh, I did it. I've had it for about 5 months and no one has so much as touched it. Then again I'm in a small city.

it was a good 8years ago, when there wasnt much DL'ing music, and he was also a DJ.

ah that makes sense.
 
Yeah i dont live in a small city, i live in an area where my neighbor got their Suburban stolen right out of their driveway at night. I even got a detachable face plate.

lol. my areas like the beverly hills of NY. without the drama. and it isnt as huge.

I just put in an Alpine deck, 6 1/2 infinity speakers, and the infinity Basslink.. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=7730075&st=infinity+200w+sub&lp=2&type=product&cp=2&id=1140392383837. It's only 1 10 but it hits really hard and sounds awsome with anything I'm playing and doesn't take up hardly any space. Infact it comes with a remote to control the bass and I never have to turn it up past 25% because I'm afraid my car is going to rattle apart.  But I mostly listen to rock and every now and then my girlfriend likes to play some rap and it hits nice.
 
But if you're looking to not only rattle your car apart but anyone who stops around you at a light I'd go with the Alpine 6 1/2s because they handle bass a lot better than the infinitys (but the infinitys have much better high piches) 2 infinity 12s.. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=7730155&type=product&id=1140392384210.. powered by a rockford fosgate amp with atleast 600W of power and 2-4 channel for the best bump in town.  I was going to go with that system, all but the alpine speakers because I love infinity, but it was about 300 bucks cheaper to go with the basslink that has the built in amp. Plus I knew I wasn't going to need that much bump in my trunk.

On a side note.. not trying to high jack.. but i have a pair of 6 1/2 in Pioneer kickers... would they sound better than the stock Bose i have in the doors? max 160w and nominal is 30w.

probably so, i dont really like the bose speakers we have, they have good highs but not so much for the lows...

Sparten the kickers would sound better and more clear!  As for bens Q.....  In my old camaro I had one twelve( JL  w3) and a lil 400 watt amp !  I just bought a cheap box from wall mart and it slid in the space perfect where the t tops go!  I had the speaker facing back and I have installed a ton of custom stereos and for the money it sound awesome!  The plus to that was With my trunk cover down you could never tell I had a stereo.   Unless you have tinted windows  ...5%  I wouldnt recomend putting them in the back area or seats..  and as far as people stealing stereo's  9 times out of ten it is someone you know!!

damn you b!tch!
 
if you have subs or 6x9s, door speakers should really have bass blockers on them anyway, but if you were to get kickers, kicker is infamous for all their speakers pounding out hard hitting clear bass. but kicker's arent so good in the highs, unless you get some high end ****, but then your better off getting infinity/alpine componets. if youre after a nice sounding mid-range, and plan on installing tweeters, deffently do kicker, i had 2 sets in my camaro and they rattled the panels loose every 2 or 3 weeks.
 
if you really wanna spend some money on a nice stero... make a new thread and i'll postwhore it!

Your right 96enko Infinity's sound awesome!!  Hooked to a amp they could make your ears bleed

pioneer.. my bad... So it would sound better than my bose? and id be able to take out the bose and wire in the new speakers easy as pie?

yep
