Just bought a 2006 Jeep Liberty Renegade. I'm gonna take my 528i in to carmax and sell it for some money for a new system. I'm not sure how much I'll have to spend yet but I was hoping I could get some research done before I set an official budget. I listen to mainly classic dubstep and electronic music that has really, really heavy bass (I'm not talking skrilllex or Doctor P midrange bullshit/midrange dubstep.) So my main concern is taking the bass to the next level. So I've done some research and am more comfortable with the terminology but I still have a couple questions. I'm assuming its going to be necessary to replace my stock amp to power some new subs, but do I necessarily need a new head unit? Can I just add on an Aux cable? Are there some retail stores that are more reliable than others as far as installation is concerned? (not quite handy enough to trust myself with wiring on my own) Are there any common mistakes I can avoid at this stage (brands to watch out for.) I'll be sure to tack on any questions as they come up. Thanks for the help guys.

North Houston, woodlands area. So theres tons of places on 45 that are willing to put a system together. I'd really like to order the parts on my own and have someone help me throw it in though.

Probably more towards SQ but I still want that bass to kick in hard as hell. (pretty sure that's what everyone says haha) Here's an example of the types of tunes I'd be bumping I work right by a car audio place in North Houston so Ill go check it out after work. I'll try and keep my ears open but would you say I should shy away from any brands do to build quality? For instance, it may sound good in the store but may break down in a few months/a year? I understand that a lot of brands specialize in different pieces of equipment and suffer in others.

Awesome, thanks for the quick response. My issue now is that I'm coming to realize that there's a lot of personal preference involved and such a wide amount of choices but I don't even know enough to have a personal preference haha.

Haha I'm inspired I'll definitely check it out. I'm assuming crutchfield is the standard place to direct people?
