system for my car.

line output converters SUCKKKKKKK

I know, but if the OP is really wanting to do things on the cheap, and just wants to impress people with loud bass its a cheap way to go without having to worry about an aftermarket head unit.

Crap. See if you can find a Nakamichi head unit ;)

Have a look on ebay, or caraudio.com or diymobileaudio.com, a lot of users those forums have to have the latest and greatest, so sell old units that are barely used.

There are some units to get you started, let me know what your budget is for the headunit if you want it narrowed down some. What size speakers does your Taurus take? If you are not sure, go to www.crutchfield.com and look there. They are a great website to buy from as well, if you want to buy new, as they throw in installation gear free.

lol there all over 200$ but really nice radios
 
ok. so really it wont make a difference since it all ballances out.
 
oh i took one of the old door speakers out of the car. in the back the door speakers are 5x7s. they are real weak. i hooked it up to my radio with + - conections on the back and it bounced pretty good. but distorts and sounds like crap. the cone seems to be made of clothy stuff. it looks like the front speakers are a few inch circulars. oh and the 5 x 7s were in baskets. should i remove the baskets and replace them with 6 x 9 sealed boxes?
