Thanks for the replies guys.
I've got my HU already but I have got the boggo speakers in the car and I can't wait to get rid of them.
I don't mind spending a few hundred and build it up slowly kind of thing, im prepared to spend a bit if theres a nice sound at the end of it!
As for space that isn't a real issue but bare in mind its an Uno boot were talking about here.
Im a bit of an all rounder when it comes down to it, I like R n B, Hip Hop Dance etc drum and bass take it or leave it but really my thing.
As the boot isn't the biggest boot in the world I would be better off having a sub with the amp built in plus I don't want to load to much weight in the back due to the weight factor
Any recomendations of what to put up front along with a sub and amp?
Ok........there's plenty of space in a Uno boot for starters.............I have 2 amps, a 10" sub with enclosure and I can still access the spare and have a bit of boot space left
My car? Its a Cinq......................
Best option, IMO, is to have a set of comps up front with a single 10 or 12 inch sub. Now I would personally go for a sealed enclosure over a ported one because
a They're more straightforward to design and build
b A sub would need a smaller sealed enclosure compared to a ported enclosure
c A sealed enclosure is good for SQ, but a ported enclosure gets a better 'drop'.
With your amps, it would be possible to get away with using just a single 4 channel amp - the JBL 75.4 springs to mind straight away. It costs £100 IIRC, has plenty of power to drive a single sub and a pair of components simultaneously (104WRMS x 2 for the components, and 284WRMS for the sub channel IIRC), and JBL's budget stuff is widely recognised as being superb for the cash
With subs, you could either have a single sub or have a pair. Going for a pair may require you to have a 2 amp setup depending on what sub you go for
So if we say £300 in total, including cabling (£50 would easily cover it - I would use 4 or 0 awg cabling
), we have £150 for a sub and set of components....................you can then add some soundproofing at a later date or do a bit when you first install stuff, then do a bit more when you have a bit more cash etc etc. Soundproofing would also make the car a bit nicer to drive in general
If you give me a minute, I'll see what £150 could get you...................
