What speakers should i get?

What type of speakers and subs should i get?

• Im getting my dads 2006 nissan altima, and im going to be buy a new stereo system first to plug in my mp3. But after that, i want to invest in speakers and subs. I really dont know anything about speakers and subs, only that subs give more bass and the normal speakers for better sound quality. I really dont like TOO much bass, but I do like it a lot to some point. So should I just get new speakers and subs? It seems subs get a little ridiculous and I want really want good quality music with bass. Should I just be new speakers and no subs? And what types should i buy> Like I said beyond that I know nothing about speakers and subs, so what should I get/look for. Not looking to spend too much as I have gift cards to best buy for the stereo. Thanks!

• Answer:

  Always buy speakers first. Subs r always last. If ur just going to power the speakers with the stereo don't buy high end speakers as its a waste of money. If ur getting an amp for the speakers, which isn't needed, then get high end speakers If u still want more bass but not a bass head get a single 10". About 200-600rms will do u great. Make sure its RMS though, not peak. And the box is the most important part. Then amp, sub. As for what best buy has, go Alpine or Kicker. Listen to them first before choosing. One person will love what another hates. If u can just buy the sub and make ur own box, my box cost me like $30 but I'm good with making stuff. If u do decide to make one just get 3/4" MDF board, wood glue, and screws Amps and subs r expensive but don't cheap out on them either or they will go bad easily and fast
