sound good audio

hey guys been a while since i posted on here havent really done anything with the car lately being winter and all. but i got bored one day and went to the store. my cousin has a audio shop and keeps telling me he wants to put a system in my car. i keep saying no, but the other day was different. i said yes he was shocked. but i told him i want part of the build. and i want it to look stock like it came with the car. i dont wanna loose alot of trunk space. he said ok my car my rules he respects that. so i started running my wires.

4 awg power wire
monster cable rca wires
12in pioneer priemere woofer
and a pioneer ice amp i think lol

i want everything pioneer since i have a pioneer headunit already and swapped out the interiors for pioneer. so figured stay with the same brand.

cant wait till the custom install is done i will post pics soon.

i am not really motivated for this lol

so he is adding a sub to your Pionner HU. Do you have stock speakers attached to the HU? Just adding a sub is not going to instantly make your system sound great.
It is a step forward if and only if your HU has High Pass filters for the main speakers.

I have done extensive work on mine. Really good fronts are important too

Are there better speakers that are replacements for the standard speakers?

Any suggestions?
