Right guys, if you had 1200 quid to get a half decent install, what would you buy and why. I fully intend using these results to guide me on my own purchase and it must include a good head unit.

Hmmn...
Alpine CDA-7894RB
Focal 165k Polykevlar 16.5cm components
Genesis Stereo 100 for the components
RE XXX 12" sub
RE 35-1D amp for sub
Probably over £1200 though

Any chance thats ure plans Trotty!
I reckon go for top quality stuff such as JL and PG, so that you can add to it rather than replace it at a later date. IMO

Have you got those Bose jobbies as standard yeah? Should be pretty reasonable.
Subs then is it - how many? And what size?

I reckon that would be ure best idea, go for a couple of JL W3 subs and some top notch amps; mate of mine has a £3.5K install in the back of his A3, x2 15inch W3's JL amps etc. Sounds mint

What have you got £1200 to spend on? Just amps and subs and cables? Youve already got a headunit?

PG 900.1 should do the job, would be cheaper than a JL 1.
