Smile Suggestions for better bass?

So I have a 2006 lexus is250, and I love my music. I listen to just about everything mostly club/dubstep/trap/classic rock. The stock sound system is alright but the louder you get the less bass you hear What do you think would be the best solution for better bass but that is clean and not overwhelming. I just a highschool student (so im not looking to spend hundereds and hundereds of dollars). THANKS FOR THEN HELP

Also, what does my stock sound system already have in it? An Amp? or any sort of stock Sub?

Ive usually just added a sub woofer. The mids and highs are amplified and crossed over on our cars and does not sound bad in our cars. Run a LOC off of the stock speaker and remove it if you can. I would get a small amp and maybe a 10in sub. Im sure you will upgrade in the future so try to use good equipment early.

Here are pics of what other people did. A basic system upgrade adding a subwoofer, amp, line output converter, wiring. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...our-setup.html

Check the link that Sffd103 posted for ideas.

I have a custom box with a 12" Infinity Kappa 120.9w and a Kicker CX600.1 amp, wired into the factory system using a Belva BAK142 wiring kit and an AudioControl LC2i line-out converter. I have the standard audio, no navigation. I think it would be perfect for what you're after, because I was looking for the same thing
