Audio Install
#2
First of all, I highly rate Dynamic Sounds as a supplier for both service and price. Or at least I did when I used them in the past.

Cracking head units they are, I've got an 001 in mine and I won't use anything else now. I liked it so much I bought another for my other car actually lol.

For components I would recommend Focal. Just the entry level ones are fantastic for the price, I've used them for years now and wouldn't choose anything else. They're a lot cheaper than when I bought my first set but I'm not sure what price I paid for my second ones. I've tried to find a link but I can't seem to, they may have discontinued them and replaced them with a new line.

Amp wise, I recommend JL (I love mine but they're not cheap, second hand is a good option), Rockford Fosgate, Focal again and Alpine. I had a cracking Focal 4-channel amp which I had to sell a while back (this one: http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/focal-pe...e-fpp-4100) which was great for running components and a sub.

Personally, I would highly recommend a small sub. You can get a subtle one which won't take up much room, and it's not chavvy to have one, just better. You can then set up the amp to supply the components and sub with the right frequencies using the correct filters, and it sounds so much crisper. I've never found the "space saving" active subs to be any good, in my experience.

It would also be a good idea to pick up some Silent Coat or similar when you're fitting the door speakers etc.

Anyway, I'm by no means an expert but that's my opinions Smile.
