Any car audio brehs in here? I need some basic advice

[dora_da_destroyer]

Hoping this is the best forum, but I need to replace the stock system in a 2011 ford escape. I'm pretty open on budget which is why i don't want to roll into a car audio spot without some type of guidance...I'll buy more than what i need. I basically want some nice sounding speakers to make a one hour commute more enjoyable, i'd probably get what i'm looking for regarding sound from the upper middle range for speakers?? i know i don't need top of the line. i also want some tweeters installed, and would like to replace the built-in 8" sub which i know is hard - but I don't want a box or tube eating up space in the cargo area and i'm not trying to blast music up and down the street.

what brands do i need to look into? what's a typical budget for this (4 6x9's, 8" sub, tweeters)...

shyt you know a good bit about what you need, that should be enough.

I would buy the shyt online.... Crutchfeild.com is a great site and they will make sure everything fits. They should also be able to recommend you an installer. For the sub I would go JL Audio and for the speakers I would probably go Alpine. You should also look into getting an amp and a new headunit too. Those will really make it all sound good.

2 12" kickers and a pair of auto zone tweeters will make any commute enjoyable

I'm in the same spot.

What to look at when you want bass but dont want two big ass 12 inch subs in the trunk. I'm selling my JL W3s

if you're only looking for louder speakers you can replace your stock ones with some decent alpines and get a 4 channel set up

How big is your trunk? Even two 10s can take up a lot of space.
