So I just want to know if it's possible to add a sound system to my car by keeping things as OEM as possible. For sure I want to keep my stock deck and amp. I have the GT model. I don't know what part number the deck and amps are. Any help? I don't know anything about sound systems either so questions and opinions will be good.

You lose a bit of sound quality that way but I see it done all the time. I've found that a low power amp and a 10" sub is a decent setup in our cars. The hatch acts as a second box, throwing the sound into the cabin and making the most of your sub. I'm not into the loudest sound systems with the most bass and it sounds like you might be the same way. A 10 won't take up much room in your trunk, plus they have great response. Plus it won't overpower your speakers.
Another viable and relatively inexpensive option is to your door speakers with 8" subs. I have never heard this setup so I'm not sure how it sounds. -------------------- "Employ your time in improving yourself by other men's writings, so that you shall gain easily what others labored hard for." -Socrates.

It seems like we are on the same page. Lol. I just want a lil something more than the stock ones. I'm not a big fan when it comes to sound system. Lol. -------------------- |
