Make sure you get an amp wiring kit from somwhere like caraudio.co.uk that can handle the power going thru it

Hey matey :)

Good choice with the JVC head unit man. :) I had a JVC in my previous car (not the latest model - like a 00 or 01 model - flip-down cd, colour screen, remote, BBE, 4x40W, dual gold pre-outs). They're awesome units. Not a real competition unit, but a good upgrade, general use/showy unit. Look absolutely great, that's one of the best things about them! No problems either (not in my experience).

Now now no arguing..:lol: ;)

So corb it's not worth getting the sony stuff???
It seemed like a really good deal..

I'm not buying till April so plenty time to look for good stuff. Wasn't wanting to spend
a load of cash..Not worried about being extremly load either. Just want a quality sound thats
better than just the 4 speakers...

What decent pioneer stuff is there out there at a decent price...?

halfords gear aint crap, youve totally contrdicted yourself there, Halfords = Crap, Alpine/Kenwood/Rockford,quality, Halfords sell those makes and pioneer, JVC, Infinity, Focal and so on.

Tips:

Dont go to halfords = overpriced and generaly crap gear

Dont get 6x9's = ask Snowy... waste of time

Avoide Vibe = Go for Alpine / Kenwood / Rockford gear, quality

Try and sell the 13cm and 6x9's buy some 17cm components focals if affordable!!! and a JL Audio 12WO Sub for about £90 and a Pheonix Gold Amp or a New Alpine MRD Amp if you can afford one!!! Best brands, best quality for the money!!!
