in your situation, i would just buy sum kind of package deal e.g. a jbl sub and amp deal that you can get from motorworld, as long as you take care of it it will sound suprisingly good and should last you a long time, as for the rest of your speakers just leave them in but once the sub is installed turn the bass down on the other speakers if possible and leave that all to the sub, this will allow your other speakers to focus on delivering more distinctive mid range sounds.

Yer, gotta agree with the JBL packages. You cant go wrong! Although i wouldnt buy from motorworld!

This is about the best place to buy car audio stuff from...

This will give you a suprising amount of bass, then just uprate your front speakers and youve got yourself a reasonably good sound:cool:

You dont need rear speakers in a little car like a saxo.

yup jbl offers good quality for minimum outlay, vibe are also worth looking at. if you're on a tight budget why not look into picking up some decent 2nd hand gear, plenty of it floating around.

Hello mate :)

Ignore the talk about Fusion above...

Get yourself a JBL setup that comes all in with an amp.
Best value for money by far and will sound better than you think combined
with a set of amped-up front components and some sound deadening ;)

Decent wiring is also a must...dont skimp on this as its almost as important as the ICE you run

Good luck with it man :)
