quote: For H/U mate, look for a MD changer :) since sony are the big runners in MD H/U's and sony's arnt the best things in the world :) But i would start with getting the front to sound sweet, then do the back :) And remember, NO 6x9's!! in ya parcel shelf ;) And for subs, have a butchers at diamond subs. There meant to be the mutz but will set you back about 600 quid for a 12" and then it will set you back about 800 for an amp to power them..but for 1500wRMS, it will be a loud and bassy git :) Have a look on www.bladeice.co.uk, they do some decent gear :) Also, one thing mate, if you want it to be loud, then look at getting alot of smaller subs like 4x10" or sumthing...since it will push more air about that one single sub at 1000wRMS or so :) And remember not to skimp on cabling, get the best you can afford mate :thumbs: Dom | |

thanks a lot mate, thanks for the advice, i can spend about £300.00 a month on the ICE. I need a MiniDisc player H/U though because the majority of my music is on MD. | |

quote: ...depends how serious you were and how much cash you get each month etc If you really want to be a loud bastard, then you will need atleast a few grand behind you for the fact that the amps will set you back about the most to power your subs :( However, it might be worth starting in the front and going backwards, as funds allow you :) So personally i would get a new H/U and replace that sony crap. I recently brought a pioneer 77MP for 230 quid from caraudiodirect.com. Its mint mate and sounds excellent, plus it has 6.5v preouts so it will give your amps a nice signal :thumbs: As for comps, if you want to start making door builds and stuff then there's a whole range you can choose from and sizes. However, if you wish to put some behind the grills that are already there then you are getting limited. I recently brought some phoenix gold R6.5's...but there where fooking massive and i couldnt fit them with building something lol So like i said i got the infinity's on austin's recommendation and they fit fine :) just need a little cutting on the tweeter housing to fit them perfectly :) However, if you have over 100 quid to spend on them, then focals are suppose to be the mutz...although the size will limit you again :( Look for sumthing in the 5" diameter and 2" deep (from cone to bottom of magnet range and you will be find :) And yes, get them amped ASAP! :thumbs: if you have added that already, you have spent about 500-600 quid including amp and cabling and thats just your front :) | |

With components that powerful you really need to amp them or they'll sound rubbish.:) | |
