[craig1gk]

ok i need the ICE mogals to help me here, as i have no idea what i need :n:

i need help chosing some comps and an amp, they need to be loud and relativly good sound quality, preferably 17cm (if you are selling pods pm me ;))

i have a budget of £300-400 maybe more if there worth it.

any help will be appreciated :)

sorry forgot to mention that i will be needing a new head unit with minumum 2 pre-outs but that will be in a seperate budget :y:

[craig1gk]

that thread all very good, but my budget is almost double...

unless the extra money isn't really worth it and i should get a new head unit?

[MikeyW]

Probably better off getting a decent HU. The SPL's are pretty nice anyway, have good mid-range, the hertz have an 'erm cant quite describe' sound lol. Better SQ, warmer might be the word im looking for ?!?! Are your SPL's amped at the moment ? And you have a sub powered by amp yars ?

3-400 is a very good budget! hit up some reviews on RE XXX 6.5c
IMO the best comps you will find in that price range! audio assult do them for 267 INCLUDING P+P which is a very reasonable price for them!

but you will need to run atleast 150 rms through each side! im sure you could pick up an amp that produces 300 @ 1Ohm or even 2 x 150/175 @ 2Ohm

with a decent head unit, and set up correctly you will be very pleased!

or ask Liam_B about JL Audio ZR comps! SQ on them, admitedly fantastic! but for the price and quality, xxx 6.5c

I knew you would turn up with the RE XXX point at some time tonts ;) but they are awesome comps mate. If your serious about spending that much then take a gander into them !!
