Ginge I recommend reading my longass guide on sound deadening. I did a lot of research into deadening and have sort of worked a best of both worlds way.

to be honest - from what i've read, it's pointless sound deadening the floor as it's think as it is - as the sub is going to be pounding the fllor mainly.
So i'd probably just do the doors... how much would that need? and cost? see what dollar i've got at the moemnt

@ Niall, that amp you suggest on fleebay is gone.

But you would benefit from a 4 Chanel in your setup ginge. You can only amp the sub with a mono block, and the sub your looking at doesn't warrant the power from a dedicated amp...

The crossover only filters the audio signal going into the speakers. It separates the low and high notes, to put it in its simplest form, and distributes it to the corresponding speakers. Either the main cone or the tweeters. Do not confuse crossovers with amps. Unless your bi amping your components, but that's a completely different ball game out of your budget.
Get a decent 4 Chanel amp, bridge 2 of the channels for the sub, and use the other two to drive the front speakers.
Then at a later date consider getting a mono block for the sub, and running all speakers amped. But for now, 4 channel! Lol

Agreed, a good route so you can expand your system when required . a good 4 channel amp of 100w rms per channel would be nice

Mainly want the amp for the sub, IF there is an amp, which would sufficiently power the speakers as well, within the price range, then yeh.
But primarily for the sub
