do as he says, get some very more powerful speakers to hear the music properly, in the way of 100 watt rms (atleast) comps up front and a 2x100 watt amp to power them...yeah! | |

quote: right so bin the 6x9's, and get an amp that does 85rms to power the front spekaers, and then get a monoblok amp to do two 12" subs, any idea about what wattage to get the subs?? my ideal situation would be i can turn it to 15-20 on the headunit and its proper loud, but can still go to 25-30. without sounding like crap. also would i need to conect it to the battry. the amps i mean. | |

Trust me with the amount of bass you'll be having you will almost certainly be needing a boot full of dynamat extreme. | |

does the dynamat make that much difference? And would it be worth lining my boot with it if i am getting an install? | |

installs can cost about £1500 ish for custom ones, and that doesnt include the components. (someone correct me if im wrong!) I just spent £780 on ICE from www.thezeb.com in america, but they dont ship to the UK, i had to get a mate to post stuff to me. The money went on 2 1000wRMS subs and a 2400wRMS amp, and that is cheaper than UK prices. As i said, if you dont want to wait, get a decent sub now and then get a powerful but cheap amp, then sell that on ebay or something when you upgrade. Have you looked on any ICE sites for rough prices/reviews? | |

so whats a decent sub and amp for the time being, and how much would i be looking at saving up to get a loud and decent install in the boot?? | |

i would wait till you can get something you really want instead of getting something in the mean time and then regretting it. Even if you decide to sell it next month, you never get any where near what you paid for it, so id just wait. Otherwise, get a decent sub and an SPLx amp or something, then replace that as soon as you have the £! | |
