I too would like more/better sound... I had my Sony head unit installed since my car came with an Alpine CD deck with an AWOL face. Found out I DO have the rear speaker option... but there's not enough bottom end to make the sound 'full' to me.

I'm NOT a hip hop/rap/thumping bassline music liker... I dig more rock, hard rock, loud rock, and more rock on top of that... but I do like having a little bottom end.

Also turns out the PO had a small box built into the front of the passenger side footwell. Looks like probably an 8" woofer was in there. The speaker is gone, and the front cover and grill was hosed in it's removal... but I'm thinking I might get a 5 channel amp, a decent 8" speaker, and replace the door/dash/rear speakers with better quality ones... and maybe get something a little better sounding out of it.
