Something that will turn a few heads, but not chavvy?? Hmmm Lol

What do you need to buy with the 400-500?

Head unit? Speakers? Sub? Amp?

In other words, what have you got at the mo?

[mattyjones]

got nothin atm i was thinkin head unit speakers sub amp and 6x9's but i have heard bad things about these anyone tell me any more?

[Coonper]

6x9's are basically crap matey. They are crap crap crap poo bollock wank nipple! They just it in the parcel shelf, throwing the sound stage off every corner of the car, distorting one another, while generally having crap sound quality and flimsy brakcetry, causing them to vibrate.

Are you wanting a sub?

The best bet is to buy some component speakers. These consist of a woofer, which goes in the standard door speaker hole, and a tweeter, which you can put anywhere you like.

This is a suerior set up as the sound from the tweeters is directed towards your ears.

You can pick these up for about £80 a set. You would also benfit from using an amp with these. Around 50-60 quid.

To wire the amp and speakers up you will need a wiring kit. About 20-30 quid.

In the words of my good friend borat... "Ees a Niice"

[Predator_R32]

why do you want to draw attention to yaself having loud music on??

get the car sound deadened as much as you can, you really dont want people to know you have subs and amps etc, so try and disguise it the best you can or else your car will be broken into, i always say to get an alarm before even thinking about ice now, best way to do it, speaking from expierience of having both of my cars broken into and stuff nicked

[WalkerVTR]

Well i only have 2 12" JBL subs, a JBL amp and 2 infinity 6x9's and it turns heads all right, and i got it all (excluding the 6x9's) for only £99 online.

[Predator_R32]

yeah the 6x9s must sound good when there distorting with the subs pushing air at there cones :wall:

My mistake with the link, the sub is perfectly matched to the amp, don't worry about the amp delivering more power than than sub's rated at. Have a read of the sticky "Advice on Power Ratings". So long as you set the gains up correctly the sub will thrive off that extra power. Take a look over at Talk Audio and do a search on the term "Headroom". You'll find some useful information on how to match amps to speakers.

Wiring??

I may not have included this in the recommendations, but I did state to get some decent wiring. Most people that are willing to spend £4-500 on a sytem are more than willing to spend an extra £50 on decent wiring and accessories, I just thought i'd leave that up to the original poster.
