i did a search and found nothing


To be honest, I'm not impressed with the sound system in my 05 tl

the sub could pound harder and the speakers can do better..

Are the speakers running full power with the stock amp? what type of differences would i see with an aftermarket amp?

 

HUGE differences

 

great cause i was thinking that the stock amp was running the speakers at full wattage, well i guess they arent

 

well, good luck with this project. feasable, but fun..

the stock AMP is 5.1... so you would need like a new 6 channel amp installed in the kick panel, or run 6 sets or RCAs to the trunk to another amp and back to the interior speakers..

best bet, to keep things affordable...just splice the factory sub wire, install an aftermarket amp and a new sub... and adjust your audio settings.. my

 

What are you ultimately trying to accomplish? If you're not satisfied with the current set up, what is your budget to upgrade? Do you just want more bass, or do you want more volume for the entire system?

Personally I wouldn't bother with an aftermarket amp unless I was going to change the speakers as well...you will get limited return on your investment.

You could get an amp that would drive your 2 main channels, and upgrade those speakers, and another amp (or multi-channel amp to do them all) to push an aftermarket sub. You could then still use your oem amp to run the center channel and surround speakers for when you play multi-channel material.

If you've got a big budget, then you could replace all speakers and add amplifiers accordingly.

There are all kinds of systems that have been installed on this forum from mild to wild. Just figure out how much you want to spend, and build it accordingly (also considering whether you're looking for SQ or SPL).

 

i went bananas with my system dude and from the very beginning i thought hey if im gonna do it... im gonna do it right, right from the beginning and do it all in once shot.
