lol fair enough..

i was shocked because most people are like "i want a whole system for £150"

if i was you id put the spare cash to pay back the loan.. but your choice

what do you want? all out bass? or high sound quality?

ok.. unsure what headunit you want, any particular features you want it to have? i can reccomend you one from there

also, youd want some door pods ideally on a build this big value (will try and find some links, will cost around £100)

components:

amp for components:

http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/audi...9mniasetr3kbq1

subwoofer:

amp for subwoofer:

wires:

http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/cels...9mniasetr3kbq1

sound deadening:

http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/seco...9mniasetr3kbq1

youll also need a box (will find a link for a good company as it will have to be custom made) - should cost around £60

all this so far totals around £1750 at a quick guess, before a headunit

id change the wiring kit for a single run of 0gauge and a 2nd battery in the back but other than that the gear seems pretty good

edit: make sure you get a decent ported box for the sub

Wow that's a decent spec put up there. How long have CAD been selling JL Audio gear. I want a 300/2 and didn't know of any places that sold over the web.
