a very good diagram with some useful information!

every day there does seem to be a new post, with what spks should i buy or are these any good/worth the money ect.
so having 1 post with a good system in should help!

but you have missed a couple of things out of the overall budget!

you will need a decent wiring kit, some sound dampening would also be a added bonus! also how you install all of the speakers will have an affect on the overall system! location of tweeters, mount the comps on a mdf rings ect
Not to mention actual setting the amp up also!

also in the budget you didnt leave any for materials for the sub box , spk wire or wiring kit?

here is an even cheaper way but it is down the JBL route!

you can get an faily good budget system for:

front speakers: SPL Dynamics SD-5.2 £60
Amp: JBL GTO75.4 £100
sub: JBL GT4-12 with box £55 (ebay)
wiring kit: 4awg £30 - £35 (ebay)

Total £250

Also it will be well worth buying a sheet of MDF/ply, to make a good stable floor in the boot for the sub and amp to go on.
Also to make 2 round rings to mount the door speks on!
shount be that much to by a sheet!

By no way is this system going to be amazing or blow your socks off!
BUT it will be a whole lot better than the standard car speakers!

Additional upgrades
front spks: bostons £90

If you want to get the most out of your system then i would highly recommend a good % of your overall budget on:
sound deadening, as if the door/boot is just rattling away then all of the sub/spk energy is just being wasted and it wount be as loud as it could be!
also upgrade the door clips, seems to be a good option.
