    Help with car audio?

    Looking to add some bass to my car. Nothing insane, just something that will provide a bit more kick down low. I'd like something that's fairly accurate and as non-muddy sounding as possible. I've been looking around for the past few hours and this seems to be a decent setup I came across...
