Im a noob with car audio of anything with wires in general.

Right now I have an upgraded head unit and all aftermarket 5.25 speakers an alpine type r 12" sub and a 900watt amp powering the sub. I want to be louder but how do I so it?

 

jl audio makes legit stuff. Look into a 13W7AE-D1.5 sub. That, or two of them will solve your problems.

 

You shouldn't need to buy anything to make it louder. Do you want more bass or crisper sound?

 

What exactly are you looking for? More volume, bass, treble?

 

What do you want louder?
Make and model of amp?
Make and model of speakers and head unit?

 

I want louder and more crisp sound. When I have the volume high and the sub hits it sounds like the speakers are blown. Also I can turn the volume up all of the way and talk over the music.

Alpine speakers
Rockford amp
I'll get the specifics later.

 

Turn the SLA ( source level adjustment ) up for more volume. Are the speakers amped? Distortion is usually caused by being under powered or improper adjustment

 

yeah id put a amp on your highs

 

How do you amp speakers?
And if I do that can I add speakers to the hatch and rear doors?

 

What's the model number? If you have been underpowering your speakers and pushing your head units amp too hard you will send a clipped signal to the speakers and blow blow them over time.

 

With an amp that I will recommend you when I know the model of your speakers. you can add more speakers, but adding more wont add more sound. You have two right now or four?

I my self am running two 5.25 speakers in the front doors, two 6x9 speakers in the rear hatch, one 10" sub in the rear cargo pocket. (All rockford fosgate punch series) A 1400 watt 5 channel amp under the rear seat. And a Pioneer DEH-90HDD head unit. And it sounds like a concert hall. I'm very happy with it.
