horrible audio system on 02 camry Suggestions?

[Madgamer]

Hey I have a 02' Camry and I listen to music a lot but when you turn up then start to pop from the tweeters and sound like total crap. A guy told me that it was because of the stock deck didnt power the speakers enough. What should I do? I can go to bestbuy to get a new deck installed but will that help? I was thinking about getting a deck like this one LINK

stay far far away from sony. If you want to save money and get a budget brand then the best to get is Kenwood. I suggest something that has MP3 support. I know Circuit City and probably carry the Kenwood KAC-MPV522 (might be wrong model # but I know it ends with 522) for about $180 installed (but you'll need to buy wiring harness and maybe install kit I dont remember what the stereo in the 02 looks like). So it should be just over $200.

Or you could be smart and buy online. Thezeb.com has some great deals right now. Crutchfield.com will give you all the parts you need for installation but they charge almost full retail price, but you may be able to find a good unit on sale, and if you do then that would be worth it.

I second that kenwood opinion. But i would spend the extra little bucks and get an alpine. In my opinion it sounds better.

Why don't you like Sony?

I guess I'm just spoiled since I can get all Sony car stereo products at cost. Thats the only brand of deck I've ever had and I've never had any problems with them. Always been good sound and really reliable.

So what should I do? Just get a deck right now? What kind?
