Da cheapest sub K&M do is round 125 in a box, i reckon dat mite be shitty for k&m's standards and prices. Get a good powerful sub and pay them to fit it. Lokk in max power, u'll get a good deal from there.

I would recommend doing it yourself! I fitted my first headunit the other day. Previously paid AirLinx to fit it for £30, but mine was simple.Pull out old one. Remove cage. Plug lead supplied with kenwood HU into current connectors then plug into headunit, slide in to the supplied cage, done!

Obviously, you have to wire up it slightly different, so as to save settings when ignition = off

audio leads do ISO conectors taht will connect virtually any head unit to and car wiring harness (as long as the original wiring is still intact) £10 ish and then it's just a case of connecting you headunit to it and off you go.

pull old one out, put new one in...

Not much more difficult then that!all the connectors shud b there, if ur using standard speakers the wires r in the form of a block which just pushed into the bac of the headunit...
