i dont know much, but that alpine amp/sub's only 350watts max power, and doesnt give a rms figure, so im guessing its not going to be amazing.

alpine are generally good stuff.

if youve got that kind of money to spend on equiptment the last think you want is a package deal

how much bank do you have for a full set up mate? (thats, comps, 2 amps and a sub + wires, box etc)

and what do you want? pure bass? or sound quality?

Ashleyp will suggest you a good setup.
Big up Ashleyp's ICE advise!!!!!

hey yas again i am looking to get a sub and amp for a £200 would go a bit higher if it was good and worth it

and i wanna get a good headunit for no more than £350ish

and i am looking for a bit of both really but love my bass

Ashleyp mate wat can you do for me

[sunny_side_up]

cheers for all your help so far

[Ashleyp]

i suggest buying comps and an amp 1st

thats what an audio set ups all about (if you want sound quality) i made the mistake of buying sub and amp 1st before..

What you lookin for in a head unit, function wise? £350 a lot of money to spend, for £270 you can get this:

I'm running one and they're about as good as it gets for SQ without silly money.

That hertz package is a good deal IMO, speakers are the wrong size but I'm sure they'll do you a swap.

Put some money aside for sound deadening and wiring too.

If you're spending this amount make sure you've got good security.

if your going to spend over £130 on a package.. then buy seperates

if you havnt got a good amp and comps up front, then sort that out first.. its a MUST in a quality sound system

[McBain]

I'd reduce your HU budget and spend it on getting some decent comps and an amp to run them - thats where most of your music comes from.

Both of these are excellent:

Good amps:

[sunny_side_up]

ok then but how mush is a good pair of them

[McBain]

All of those I've recommneded are good, if you want cheaper the JBL stuff is really popular and good value for money.

It all depends on how much you want to spend? whats your total buget for ICE?

both amps arent running enough power to supply those comps efficiently imo.. i wouldnt give either pair less than 100wrms

also. both sets of comps (being the lower end of their respective brand) have less quality crossovers leading to a harsher hi-end

whilst being an OK set up, id rather save some cash and opt for this alternative:

comps:

amp:

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

these comps thrive off over 100wrms. (which the amp delivers to them) and they produce a very powerful midbass withough giving a harsh sound on the hi-end. the balance of freqs is up there with the +£100 pairs of comps

[sunny_side_up]

ok then i might get a pair of them

and can i ask are they easy to fit or someone explain how i do it!

and i am looking to spend no more than like 500 but thats got to included everything like sub amps and comps wiring and maybe headunit

You dont need to put 100W into speaker for it to sound good.
I ran that audison amp for quite a while, 80W is its maximum output i.e full volume. Nobody runs their amps at full power while driving around you'd be deaf!

Both the amps i've listed are good quality and supply enough power for the speakers mentioned.

Those SPL speakers are ok but you're not going to be putting 100W into them while driving around for the reasons I've just stated, so saying they'll thrive of 100W is pointless.

yer but then they are cheaper
