car audio

[spwath]

I know nothing about how car audio works.

I just know that my 2006 rav4 I'm getting passed down sounds terrible. What parts would I need to get to make it better?

I have a spare Ken-wood amp for 2 channel stereo that's from the 90's if you want it

Is it good?

And then I would also need to find some nice speakers

My dad told me it was lik the best one you could get for money, it was from the KCA line, he got it in Canada, and you know in Canada when people mod their car they do it right.

get a better receiver first with 50w x 4 and It has to have pre outs for front, rear and sub. (theses are for your amps later on) I recommend pioneer. if still don't like the sound then you add a amp. If still not to your liking start changing speakers with better ones.

And how would I change all these parts?

I'm a car noob.

Depending on the factory stereo you have on the car. See videos on how to remove the panels if need but if its a regular one. you just remove the cover and there's a tool that comes with your new receiver that you can use to pop out the old one. Then carefully remove it since there are wires at the back. Then follow the manual on how to put it on the new one

Wouldn't the speakers be most important?

Right now it has ear peicingly bad treble and overall not good

you could do that first. Try to buy something that could handle a amp so that you have room for upgrade later on and buy the correct size. Just google the size that fits your car speaker mounts. On some occasion you can go a little bit bigger which i would do if possible. 

 

What is your plan about the car's audio, do you want to set it up or just have it working like before?

What do you mean

[pocholo01]

What do you mean

 

I mean to do you want it to just work with the head unit/receiver and the speakers and the car like just fix it up like new or do you want to add amps and sub woofers? Like have really nice setup. This will be the first thing to consider. 

 

Option 1

If you just want to have have it working then you should start by just replacing the part that have a problem. I suggest buying mid bass speakers from pioneer they are cheap and i like them.

 

Option 2

If your gonna set it up. You have to plan out the parts that you need to buy. That was my first impression that is why i suggested to get a nice head unit and for the speakers in case you go this route i like jl audio. A bit pricey but nice.
