cheers

i'd steer away from 6x9. They point in the wrong direction for a start.

With £80 you can get some nice components for the front doors, thats it.
Apart from that, don't bother, leave it standard

 

[theduck]

£80 will prob get you some cheap 6x9s and a cheap amp from motorworld which will be loud but shocking quality, loved mine lol

 

[adam_socks]

yeh im only lookin for a cheap fix, nothing with exceptional sound quality, just something cheap n nasty realy! lol

 

[theduck]

Cheapest I can put together for you is:

http://www.motor-world.co.uk/show_prod.php?prod_id=12425
http://www.motor-world.co.uk/show_prod.php?prod_id=12434
http://www.motor-world.co.uk/show_prod.php?prod_id=10533

Total of £55

and then you can add a head unit for £43
http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/kdg333-free-wallet-p-5738.html

and that setup is basically what i had in my fiesta lol.

Thats probably the only time i will admit this or give this advice, so feel honoured

haha thats absolutely great mate cheers

 

[theduck]

if you are going for that kind of budget/those makes, i would go with the stuff linked as the 'upgrades' arent worth it imo

 

[adam_socks]

right, think im gonna go for:
this headunit £47
http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/jvc-kdg342-p-6230.html

this sub n amp £40 inc. all wiring

n then build my own stealth shelf £20ish
i think i can stretch my budget to that! what do you reckon?

 

[theduck]

Presume stealth shelf for the amp etc I linked to?

 

[adam_socks]

errmm possibly yeh, im jus gonna do it in stages really, jus get some mdf n stuff from work, n work on it over a few weeks...but definately gonna get tha sub n amp for £40, seems a bit of a bargain to me

 

[theduck]

Yeah thats a good buy at £40

 

[adam_socks]

its only 400w, so not the best, but its better then nothing at the end of the day!

 

[theduck]

wattage means f**k all tbh, but i cant be arsed to explain that yet again

 

[adam_socks]

wattage means f**k all tbh, but i cant be arsed to explain that yet again

dont matter i googled it lol

"amplifier wattage is a pointless figure to judge a speaker on. The output of a speaker measured in decibals (dB) is dependent on the sensitivity of the speaker and the wattage put into it. 100 watts into a speaker with a sensitivity of 87db SPL at 1w@1meter will produce 108db SPL. A different speaker with a sensitivity of 96db will require only 12.5 watts to output at the same level."
so the more sensitive the speaker is the less wattage?
i know feck all about speakers as u can prbly tell btw lol

 

[theduck]

Well that is part of it yes! Theres a lot to do with the quality of the amps etc.

Where are you getting that amp and sub pack for £40?

This is what I did with £80

Ground Zero amp: http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/ground-zero-titanium-gzta-2000tx-p-6611.html ~ £50

And some brand new infinity comps from eBay at ~ £30

Wiring kit was a spare from a mate

Cheers

[The Boosh!]

id save your 80 little pounds up and wait till you can afford a decent setup IMO

 

[Jay_clio]

wel this is jus a quick fix tbh, wil probly end up changin car in a few months anyway, so theres not much point in spendin 200-300 quid on a setup tha im only gonna use for 3 months
