Default How to improve sound system
Hi

I have a 01 with 6 speakers and was surprise how bad the sound system is. It sounds like a Dodge van with a little boost. It's nothing close to an Audi oem system. What I want the most is aleast give the system a little boost on Bass and a surround sound feel. WHAT I REALLY HATE is that the sound system feels like its coming from the front and not around.

got ideas?

I think you answered your own question when you said it doesn't sound like an Audi sound system. This is a 20K car, not 40K. Most people are happy with the sound coming from their stock speakers. I would go for a sub with either a built in amp or a 1-channel amp, and a 4 channel amp to boost the sound coming from the stock speakers.

just get a good headunit from a company like pioneer and most of your problems will go away.

There is a way to "Boost the Bass". It's hooked up to a Clarion 200W Amp.

Go for the MOPAR subwoofer. It pushes 50W, and supposedly it sounds pretty good. The only other option is getting a bazooka tube or an "all in one" sub.

I'm really happy with a Kenwood WOOX. Enough bass for me (ok, I'm not looking to get noise complaints from the airport) and it fits in the otherwise wasted space under the driver's seat.

[8)]HI, I JUST PUT IN A MOPAR SUBWOOFER AND I THINK IT SOUNDS GREAT. IT ALSO HIDES IN THE REAR PANEL AND TAKES UP NO SPACE.

The mopar part # is 82208162 and retails for $395.00. I put mine in myself so I do not know what it would cost. I would say about 1 to 2 hours labor.
