Audio Upgrade Poll
 
I want better quality at higher volumes.
And some higher volume all together would be appreciated.

SO with that in mind, do I,

1. Upgrade Speakers
2. Upgrade Speakers AND add Amp

which kenwood do you have?

I'd say do the door speakers (components) first and see how you like it.

If you want better sound at higher volume it's not a poll, it's you have to get better speakers and an amp.

The speakers will make the most difference. Get some efficient speakers and, as per kenchan, see if that's what you want. You can always add an amp later.

Thank you all for the good and surprisingly consistent information.

Is there a suggested door / tweeter setup which is suited to the Z ?

I'm not an audio guy, but I'd say that if you are paying somebody to install, it may cost you more to have them install speakers first and then amp later, rather than just do it all at once. Amps are not very expensive. You *might* be happy with just speakers, but you will definitely be happy with both amp and speakers. I say when you take the cost of an amp (maybe around $125 for a good one) and then subtract the extra money you would have spent to have somebody install it later, and the cost difference to add an amp is pretty small.

Great point. I was assuming this was a DIY job but it may not be.
