Looking for a sub/amp

[mchairmaster]

A couple of months ago I installed some door speakers and rear speakers - you were all right there is seriously lacking bass. So, I'm wanting to get a sub and amp with a low-moderate budget. Not looking for mind blowingly loud sounds but I'm not too sure mainly about which amp to get. Any ideas appreciated.

Plenty of deals there. Some of the lower end ones are a bit shoddy but still cheaper than buying separately.

How are you running the door speakers at the minute? Are they amped or are they running straight from the headunit?

Cheers, I'll take a look - running the door speakers straight from the headunit (soldered on lol)

Kicker Bass Pack <-- Thinking of going for this, opinions??

Have you considered a low profile package? In Phase USW10 300 Watt Underseat Active Subwoofer including Remote Bass Controller/Wiring Kit: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics

it'll do the job easily!

thanks for the advice, I went for the kickers though.

I'm gonna try wire it up today but I'm just wondering if anyone could tell me how to attach the battery connectors (small metal ring thing) to the actual power cable (10 gauge). The wiring kit came with a few heat shrinks so I'm wondering do I solder or what?

Normally those things are crimps.

What front speakers did you install? If they are a decent quality component set you should notice an improvement in the level of bass up front. Amping them could help, it's also worth checking they are wired correctly phase wise as if they are wired out of phase this could affect the bass performance.
