junk those crappy rear speakers, buy the decent HU like the one above, buy some moderatly expensive 17cm components, buy a sub and amp package, hey presto a decent starter system. | |

...mate, trust us on here. Get some comps up front, get rid of your 6x9's 9in the back and get the rockford sub/amp package, problem solved :thumbs: It will sound better than the oe speakers and sony 6x9s you have in there :) Also, the oe speakers wouldnt be worth amping, since they will be about 15wRMS or something, so you would run them off the HU :) As for the 6x9s, ditch them eitherway, since they will sound crap when you get your sub/amp in the back - although there are ways to get the 6x9s sounding good (ie: build a box for them, amp them, crossover them) but it will be too much hassle ;) | |

All I want is a sub and an amp, I already have 8 speakers in the car that will do for now. | |

To get access to your spare wheel, you build a false floor with a circle cut out slightly bigger than your tyre using MDF & you hinge your sub box onto the false floor. When you need your spare wheel you just push your rear seats forward, push the hinged sub box forward and lift the circle cut out from the floor. | |

I couldn't find a rockford sub and amp package- only an Alpine one, will this do? And for the infinity comps and amp- what sort of amp? | |

If you give us an idea on how much you want to spend,and how good you want it to be, we might be able to help out a bit more! :thumbs: For a "kick ass sound system" ( ;) ) I would recommend ditching the sonys, getting some decent components up front (your budget is the limit really) run off an amp, and a single sub in the boot if space is also needed. What type of music do you listen to, ahd realisticly how loud do you want it to be? | |

you will need to buy a amp wiring kit as well (cheapest about £30 i think) this will have a power cable that will have to be connected to the battery...a remote which will need to be connected to the head unit...and phono leads that need to be connected to the head unit and a earth that goes to a earth on your car (eg. seat belt bolt) | |
