    I am hoping for some advice on what I need to improve the sound and bass in my car. I have just bought an Astra and changed the stereo unit. I already had an amp and a sub-woofer from my old car but wondered if I needed both to make the bass & sound better? or will just the amp do? Whenever I turn it up loud it goes all distorted and the bass on the unit seems to overpower the music.
    I am clueless about anything audio but just want to improve the sound.

    Thanks for any advice :)

    you need to learn some more about car audio, your speakers are probobly junk, amping them would be useless, get a nice cheap set of coaxials. and than amplify the speakers, than your sub wont over power your system.
