Help need please 12-10-08
Right finally got a car sorted so in a few months I'll be looking to update the sound system.
Will be running off this head unit (as recommended by a few of you)
http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/pion...ub-p-6312.html
Will have about £300 - £400 to spend most likely not including the head unit I'll buy that before.
Consisting of Sub,Amp,Comps plus anything else needed.
Does the type of music I listen to make any difference to what parts are chosen?
If you can save me some money also please do. 
EDIT Changed mind only want to spend £200 - £300.

Hi mate,
That budget should get you some good quality gear!
You need to tell us exactly what you want from your setup, and yes, it does make a difference what music you listen to

Hertz 130 comps (£70)
JBL 75.2 amp for comps (£70)
JBL 1201.1 monoblock amp (£150)
2 x JBL GT4's (£50)
4 gauge wiring kit (£30)
Anything you have left over should be spent on sound deadening
Sorted!

Ok well it's metal mainly also a bit of old skool dance music maybe a bit of D&B not much though. 
Im not really sure what you mean by what I want I'm no ICE expert. 
Aslong as it sound's better than the standard stuff Im not fussed.

Now thats quite a variety tbh, so i would be inclined to go with a sealed box. It will have the potential to drop to the low demading bass lines of metal, while remaining tight for the bass drums kicks, which are plentyfull to say the least! Lol
Dance music is also quite demanding as there is a variety of high and low basslines, so with this in mind deffo go for 2 x JBL GT4's in sealed boxes!

Okie dokie I noticed after I posted.
Less money and less equipment would be great though.
I didn't relise how much stuff you could get for £400. 
Would budget of £200 - £300 get me anything decent?
