hi ice-sifus,

i need some recommendation for adding a sub and amp to my current setup. my budget is <1k if possible and i prefer quality sound (i know - that one need more $$$ but that's my budget for now)

current setup in my 2004 honda city
alpine hu
alpine budget component front speakers
oem rear speakers (i keep this off)
i'm ok with the sound quality but the sysyem lacks bass. i understand i can get better sound by adding a 4 channel amp (2 channel for front comp and 2 for rear sub).

i have asked around 1/2 shops and they norm recommend me amps/subs that i have not heard of and are very expensive.

i also seen sub/amp offerred by branded co like sony/pioneer/kenwood that's much cheaper.
