i've been looking for a good shelf stereo system thats nice and has good bass

any suggestions? from reviews i've been thinkin about purchasing this sony 530 watt (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8713733&st=shelf+stereo&type=pro duct&id=1199496527502)

i'm not too knowledgable about wiring and electronics but i'd like to learn about all that stuff with stereos so i can figure out some car stereo stuff
