Want to upgrade my sound. - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

So it’s time to upgrade me sound in my car. Have a 2010 camaro 1SS. Standard system, not the boston acoustics. My front left speaker sounds blown now so wanna get some options.

Should I get new tweeters as well?

I would like to get some new speakers, I’d say for the 4 speakers somewhere around $200-$300

Next question is, will I need a new amp as well to power the speakers or is the stock amp good enough still? If need a new one would also like to hear options for some. Are there ones where I can put it in the same place instead of finding a new location for it.

Are these Polk Audios good?

Hopefully after this will soon after get a new head unit.
Thank you for any insight.

Hi,
Depending on your budget offerup would be a good place for the head-unit and maybe some "new" speakers. I saw a install kit for a 5th Gen. But maybe it would be best to buy that item "new". I'm doing a Cam1 and Kenwood with amps but no door or deck speakers.

Enjoy the new sound.

Budget id say$200-$350 for speakers and if amp needed maybe $200-$300 for that as well.

Case in point. This past Sunday one of my pioneer tweeters I recently installed began vibrating rather annoyingly. I troubleshot it and it was def the tweeter blown. I called them and they’re sending a whole new box of four front speakers to either swap out all of them or just replace the tweeter and send it back with the new speakers. They’ll be here tomorrow.
