Thread: what aftermarket speaker setup should i get?

My front passenger side speaker went out and another one is going out so im preparing to get new speakers all the way around. I want to get a box in the back with an amp but i dont know what kind of speakers and everything else i should get. what would be the bang for my buck when it comes to this? oh and by the way i have a 2002 grand prix gt

I have a 2002 Pontiac grand prix gt with i believe stock Stereo system. i want to keep my main control unit but have way better speakers and bass. i love having it loud and i love a real deep bass. i also like my speakers to be real loud and i notice with my stock system the distortion i get at louder levels is really annoying. i am trying to keep this under about 500. anyways can someone please tell me cheap but good speakers i can get that look nice and sound great. and i want at least a 12" sub for my trunk so a cheap one with really good sound would be nice as well. i believe my car has two tweeters and two 5 1/4" side speakers in front and then i have two 6x9" speakers in the rear and two speakers on my back doors. i really need help with this. i have no idea even how to begin with this project. oh and a cheap amp would be nice too. i don't know if it is needed or not so yall tell me. i do have the steering controls though so i dont want to lose those but i don't have the HUD. so any help would be appreciated.
