this a decent set-up?

[Mochachino]

JBL GT4 12" sub (http://caraudiosecurity.com/shop/product/products_id/1006/referer/rc_froogle.html)

to power it either:

JBL GTO3501E (http://www.motor-world.co.uk/show_prod.php?client_id=7&prod_id=17893)
or
Alpine MRP-M450 (http://www.caraudiocentre.co.uk/product.asp?product=21622)

Then Hertz Dieci DSK 130 compnants (http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/hertz-dieci-p-6122.html) but dont know what amp to power that not a great budget but about £80 for the amp to power the compnants, also need a distribution block.

any ideas?

Check the "ice for sale" section for jbl subs, sold by me;)

Better than the GT4 at a better price.

In all honesty both the amps you are looking at dont put out a decent enough power to allow the GT4 to perform strongly (i'd be looking at atleast 250w). Why not take a look at the JBL GTO 755.6 (http://caraudiosecurity.com/shop/product/products_id/2751.html), this way your sub will be getting 300w. Your components will also be getting 160w RMS each side if you bridge the 1st 4 channels down to 2.

Getting 1 amp to run the whole system will save you a little money and will allow you to spend more on wiring and installation.

The GT4 is a great little sub, highly regarded as the best budget sub on the market (at the moment, get 1 while the left over stock are still selling). If you want more volume try building a ported enclosure to house the GT4.

Why the hell would a pair of components need 320rms?

They are only rated at 60rms!

[Predator_R32]

in that case you dont turn the gain right up

It's called head room mate.

160w RMS each side split between a mid and tweeter isn't going to be much above the rated power anyways. Then when you think that while playing music a speaker will usually only see around 50% (sometimes less) of the amps rated power you can now see that the component set will be happy being supplied 160w a side so long as the gains are set up correctly and not delivering a clipped signal.
