Hi,
I have a JBL 520W amp and a Hertz 300w sub. My front components have already been upgraded before I bought the car they are:

Would upgrading them really make a big difference? Or what the next alternative step be? Also can anyone reccomend a reasonable HU with AUX for <£100 or is that to cheap? Was looking at this:

but is slightly pricey

Cheers

Hi mate

The components you have are okay, but you would definitely benefit from uprating them. Depends on your budget tbh mate!

Are they currently running off the JBL amp??

With regards to H.U's, the alpine one is very good! If you stick to brands we all know and love then you cant go far wrong.

But you dont have to spend £100 to get an aux in...

I suppose the next proper step would be to get a mono amp to run the sub and a 2 channel to run the components.

Sweet! That will get you some good speakers!

The best thing you could do would be to make some door pods to house 6.5" components.

And you would also benfit from sound deadening.

But if you want the actual sound system sorting then you can always do sound deadening at a later date.

If your budget would stretch to these then you will be seriously impressed!;)

Im not sure if there are any guides, but you do need to be handy with the old fibre glass! Im sure you can buy them ready made somewhere though...
