As part of a full rip out / replace I swapped my speakers for JL's. This included replacing the shity 3" rear wall units with 5.25" ones in a custom bracket. The build also included a small 4 channel amp.

Sound clarity improved greatly, but I'd call the Bass output to be roughly the same as stock, depending on how I tune the head unit.

To me its a great improvement over stock, but without going to the financial and performance expense of sound proofing the car and or adding a heavy sub in the boot, I'll never have earth shattering bass. My goal was to improve on what was there, still look factory and only add a minimal amount of weight to the car.

I've always been told that to get any serious improvement in sound, the system really needs an amp. Why not simply try speaking to a few audio shops for their opinions and hunt around?
