£300 new speakers & Amp recommend plz

[TheKing]

Hi i got £300 to spend on some new speakers and an amp ive already upgraded the headunit to a pioneer one. Ive been looking about but just wanted to see what kind of stuff you guys would recommend (sort of tried and tested)in my price range. Cheers

 

[TheKing]

Oh and has anybody got a guide on how to install the stuff.

 

[BRUN]

where are the speakers going ?

do you want a 2 or 4 channel amp ?

 

[Bryan]

as brun says

what set-up

co-ax / comps

front, rears, fronts & rears?

could suggest thousands of combinations, but need to know what you want

 

[TheKing]

4 channel amp was gonna just change the fronts, but might as well change the back while im at it. Is it worth putting comps in front and back or sticking to coax in the rear?

 

[Djw John]

Comps in the front and if you really want something in the back then 2way co-axs.

 

[BRUN]

can you afford to lose a little boot space ?

you would be better buying a 4 channel amp, a sub, and some components for the front, forget the rears you dont really need them, if you feel you do jus stick some coax in

 

[TheKing]

Yeh im not too fussed about my boot space tbh but i dont really want to be messing about with making mdf boot installs and all that, havent got the patience. I was thinking about leaving the rears in but then i thought if i get good front speakers then mebby it would be let down by the standards in the rear. Could you recommend a good 4 channel amp and some components for the front then.

 

[BRUN]

for a bargain setup mate......

you can currently get some JBL packages at Motor World, your talkin £169 at most which is the 4 channel amp package with 12" sub and box, all you would need is a wirin kit which would be about £25

also, some JBL components are on offer aswell, usually £99 but they are down to about £55 now......GTO506c IIRC

all that would leave you cash to spare

 

[TheKing]

Cheers for that ill go take a look

 

[BRUN]

for the cash it would be a decent setup, obviously you can get better but i think you would struggle to get better for the same cash

 

[Claire]

Try Cad for some reduced PGold stuff atm. Although most people find they dont go much wrong with the typical Alpine S 12" sub for around £90

 

[BRUN]

actually, what about the following

Amp £120 - http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=2792http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=2792

Sub £75 - http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=3193http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=3193

Front Comps £90 - http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=444http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=444

= £285 but your gonna need at least £50 on top of that for a sub box and a wiring kit for the amp.....

 

[TheKing]

Sorry inets been down, like the selection there brun cheers for the help im gonna order what you recommended. Is there a guide floating about on how to install the stuff, ive got a ruff idea but want to make sure im doing it right.

 

[BRUN]

[TheKing]
