Need some sound help!!
Ok, so my Koup arrives tomorrow. And it's booked for tint and after that I want to upgrade the stereo. Am I able to add a sub to the stock system and change the speakers, or will I need to add an aftermarket deck into the system?

I heard the sound in the test drive, and I wasn't overly impressed. I listen to a lot of electro, dubstep so I need my bass hahaha. Big Grin

And sound wasn't changing my mind on this car!!

2011 Forte Koup SX (Pure White, 6spd M/T)
-20% tint all around
-K badges (front, rear, wheels, steering wheel)
-CAI & exhaust next!!

IMO only i would stick with the factory head unit for now. See how it sounds with new speakers and sub. If you still don't like the sound change out the head unit...

So far all i have done is to add a 300 watt Bazooka amp under the drivers seat with bass remote and an older 8 inch Kicker brand sub...In my opinion only, i think it sounds prety good.
