£100 to £150 ish mate if its all brand new, wouldnt pay anymore than that..

i have the JBL sub and its really good

 

[Matta_88]

Ok nice one mate, is there any guides kicking about on how to fit subs and amps does anyone know?
Cheers

its simple mate.. hardest part is getting the power cable through to your battery from the passenger footwell (sure someone on here will know where it is on a mk2ph1..)

and tucking the wires away neatly takes a bit of time.. just make sure you have a good earthing point!

Go to your local Halfords they have a fusion kit all in for £129

 

[Matta_88]

fusion are sh*tache thought arent they?
All i want is just a nice quality bassy sound, without paying loads or blowing my ear drums through my nose

Anyone any ideas

TBH I dont think you would find much of a difference at most things in this price range - Avoid Fli like the plague as they are supposed to be really s**t
Motorworld are doing a full JBL kit for around £150 if that appeals

i was looking at FLI! they looked mint in those ready made enclosures
hmmm dnt know what i should do now thn :S would theyre be much difference in just uprating the standard speakers? or buyin a new HU?>
Cheers

caraudiodiscount are doing the 12" Vibe active enclosed sub for £190 I think (including a wiring kit) brand new. I've not heard it but this is supposed to be a kick ass range of subs and this sub is well over £200 new everywhere else.

I'd get one but my standard head unit doesn't have pre-outs

me and a mate had a FLI sub, both blew and had to be taken back.. though when it worked, it was good.. would try and get a separate sub and amp package if i were u

new hu and a good set of comps would be a better start as you will reap the rewards later when you add the sub and amp

It is simple, in the engine bay, bottom right hand corner, theres a little rubber cap thing! Connect the power cable to the battery, from that, feed down the engine bay, through the hole where the rubber was and into the passenger footwell! Take the carpets up if you want it to look good and hide wiring! Took me all of 3 hours, to wire, take up carpets, re route cable round car, screw down amp and mount the speakers!

Hope that helps?!

I'm not really into my ICE but I've been told the fli stuff gives fantastic sound.

Indeed. I noticed a huge improvement when fitting just HU and comps.
