when your car speakers vibrate like a second or two after a Base hit in a song? This annoys me because i just want a good clean base with only one Kick instead of it kick and then vibrate like tin cans afterward.

Do i need better speakers with more watts handling?

It sounds like your speakers aren't secure. Are they sub? If so the sub box probably isn't tight.

no they're just regular speakers. Not subs. I can see the Rubber part bouncing back and forth a couple times each time the base kick. I just want a single good clean kick instead. Is it because the speakers are cheap? too small? will 6x9 fix this problem?

Uhh, sounds to me like you're listening to music that doesn't *kick*...oooor, your deck is weak and cannot sustain the power needed for one large hit, so it more or less farts :)

You should get a new deck, speakers, amps, and subs if you want good sound from your car :)

Okay, here's what I'm thinking...the 3 1/2" speakers up front are not going to produce any bass, so don't even try. The rears are likely 5"- 6 1/2" and they can produce a little bass, not much. The problem is that you're trying to get bass out of the stock sized speakers, which really isn't going to happen. Since you currently can't regulate the amount of bass going to your fronts *seperately* from the bass going to your rears, you're going to overdrive your fronts if you try to get bass out of the stock sized speakers (unless you have a deck that can adjust the amount of bass front to rear, but I haven't seen any).

So, since you have amps and subs (I don't know anything about those amps, I'll assume you're going to use them both for subs) you should hook up the amps/subs with a low pass crossover to the line out (not speaker out) of your deck. Then turn down the bass on the deck so you don't over drive the stock size speakers...get all your bass from the subs, highs from the stock...
