Planning a new setup...have a few questions

I have a '94 Z28...the stereo system that I have in there now worked OK with my previous setup, but my new engine drowns out the radio altogether. What I have now: Pioneer head unit, MOSFET 45, forget the model number...5 1/4" Pioneer 2 ways up front, 6 1/2" Pioneer 2 ways in back.

What I'm thinking...the head unit I have has a separate output for a sub with a built-in crossover. Most of what I can't hear now is bass, but I can't turn it up any farther without distortion. I think that if I buy a sub and a small amp, I can set the crossover on the head unit to keep the front speakers from playing bass at all and I can turn them up farther without any distortion.

So, I guess I'm looking for a sub and an amp. Question is, what would you recommend? I'm not looking for a high dollar system and I don't want something powerful enough to rattle my doors off. All I need is something that will overpower the exhaust enough to be audible. If I could get everything I need for under $400, I'd be very, very happy. Also, I'd like to use one of those Stealth boxes that installs on the driver's side to keep what little trunk space I have open. Final question...who are the cheapest suppliers out there? It's been so long since I did anything with stereo equipment that I don't know who the best company to order from is.

Thanks in advance for any info you can offer!

are you looking for bass or wanted to actually hear the music? why not get a 4ch amp for your speakers
