Message	I have the following system in my Z, and I am dissapointed with the sound to say the least. Sony CDX-M610 Head Unit Infinity Reference 605cs Components 6.5" Fronts JL Audio 6.5" Rears I don't know much about stereo systems, but I do know shit when I hear it. Wondering where I am falling short. I plan on adding an amp and a Sub at some point, just wondering if i should upgrade anything else while I'm doing it. As for my goals, I want nice smooth response, thundering bass when I want it, but just good overall sound. Keep in mind I have the Specialty Z racing battery, so i can't run anything huge. Thnx
