    Okay hey there all! I'm new to car audio and got most of my help in the live chat here! I appreciate it a lot! But i have a Pioneer DEH-5200HD deck and then i have new Pioneer speakers too! I was just curious how i set the confusing and complicated setting on the deck? Is there a right way or wrong way? Or just how it sounds best? And also how can i avoid blowing out my speakers? My next question is what component should i get next? Amp, Sub, Etc. Now i'm new so something that sounds just okay to you guys will probably be godly to me! Just keep that in mind. I don't want anything pricey but i want something that's good quality. My budget is low since i'm in highschool and don't currently have a job! What do you guys think i should get next or work on next? Thanks for the help in advance!

    As for setting the tone controls and such on the deck, simply adjust them so they sound good to YOU. To help prevent the blowing of speakers....if it sounds "bad" or "distorted", turn it down....clipping is what kills speakers voice coils. Next step would be to add a sub and amp.
