Subwoofer..

[JoshGrande]

Well, I've set my mind on getting a subwoofer, + Amplifier for my Punto, just wondered if it can run on the original stereo, since some people have been telling me that you can't get the original stereo out easily to replace it..
And what kind of things would I need..
For example:
Subwoofer
Amplifier
Speakers (If neccessary without changing the stock ones(
Never done anything like this in a car before, so any help will be appreciated.
Many thanks,
Josh

You can run it off the stock stereo, but you need some fancy kit that I don't know about-volxstu should be able to help

Also might be worth upgrading the speakers as you could blow them or the sub will drown them out

My dads friend said he had some 6x9 JPL's, Would they do?

6x9's go in the parcel shelf, and are useless with a sub

you need to get some good components to go inside the door panels

How much would it all cost? Thanks for the information bu the way, I was just going to get a sub

google caraudiosecurity and check on there they have a good rep on the forum

I think ive found something,
There's a sub and amp package at halfrauds for £129
And 1 6.5 inch speaker, (of the same skin/style) for 33.99, an they can be fitted at a cost -.-, do you reckon that would be fine?

 

[Grainge16]

Your gonna need 2 speakers, should be alright but they are pretty easy to do yourself, however to run a sub & amp your gonna want a new head unit as well

 

[JoshGrande]

Yeah, jee, money money money

Yup, but with these things the more money you put in, the better the sound you get out might be worth searching ebay for 2nd hand but good nick and well rated kit

Well so far, I've totted it up to be..
£129.99 - Sub & Amp.
2 x £33.99 - 2 6.5 inch speakers.
£88.99 for kenwood head unit.
and a bit for fitting.
I'd rather pay for someone who's 'professional' rather than making mistakes. :/

Fair enough can't blame you for that, might be better off getting someone other than halfords to fit it though, from what Ive heard they can be a bit ape ish, but dont let that stop you

 

[JoshGrande]

What do you mean by ape ish?

 

[Grainge16]

i.e. the staff are like monkeys-only heard it said twice though, and they were from the same store so may be different elsewhere

Hmm well I just read a review, and someone said they had a VW passat, and the halfords crew said they could fit some speakers, ended up them saying thy couldnt and the guys door was knackered, the clips broke or something.

Well there you go, might be worth taking business elsewhere

 

[JoshGrande]

Ah, well, I need to make a decision soon
