Sounds for 2006 Pontiac g6 sedan?

I have a 2006 pontiac g6 sedan. I wanted to add a better sound system to my car. I stay in Chicago and its illegal to have a trunk speaker. So what I need to know is:

1. Is it possible to get a good bass system without a speaker in a trunk?

2. What would I need to get to amplify my sounds and would anyone know about how much I'd be looking to spend?

I have all factory systems now. I kind of would like to keep the current face of the radio I have now because it displays the temp and important things dealing with my car. So any suggestions? Thanks

    Without knowing the wiring of your head unit I'll attempt to give you some good suggestions.

    To answer your first question, yes there are bass option outside of a trunk installed subwoofer. These are small subs that go under a seat and some have an amp already built in. The best can be found at crutchfield.com

    As for your second question, in order to amplify you would need an amp and they wary widely in price depending on brand and power. If you just run 4-6 stock speakers off it then you won't need a high power amp.

    The only real issue is the head unit. It may or may not have the wiring connections you'll need to install an amp. Some aftermarket head units can perform the same functions as the stock units but I'm honestly not sure which ones will or will not for your model car.

    The best way to plan this out would be to go to crutchfield.com and they have an "outfit my car" link which will show you what will and will not fit/play well with your car.

    I would say if your gonna custimize and add power to it I would look at the cheaper cars like the cobalt or the avenger.Make sure if you buy either of them to get the 2.4 motor.I am not sure if it still does but a neon with the 2.4 was the record holder for a true unibody front drive car and if I remember right it did in the eights in the quarter mile.So their is a lot of performance potential with the motor.The reason I am recomending 4 cylinder cars is because you haven't listed any v8's the chrysler 5.7 hemi with mds gets pretty good fuel mileage for a v8 and can compare to some v6's for fuel mileage.V6 engines are flawed from the factory as they are never truly able to be balanced.In a v6 2 pistons are up on one side while only one is up on the other.Manufacturers compensate for this thru harmonic dampening.It doesn't eliminate the imbalance but dampens the vibrations.That is why early v6's were notorious for vibrating.Good luck on your choice.
