help on amp and sub
- Thread starter sinead54
- Start date
do you still have the factory head unit (HU) or has this been upgraded?
are you planning to run all your current speakers in addition to the sub from the amp, or just the sub only?
if ur still running the original HU, you will need to tap into the speaker wires for the RCAs to connect to the amp, as the original HU does not have any RCAs out.
if u have an aftermarket HU, you will have to decide whether your going to run your speakers from the HU or from the amp, this would probably decide on how many channels and how much power amp you should get

Antony worked in a car audio department
Sony used to produce lovely car audio, that's no longer the case...
Depending on your budget, look for the likes of JBL, Pioneer, Kenwood, Alpine through to DLS, Genesis, Soundstream, etc!
Give me a budget and I'll work with it to spec you up a system.
hhhmmmm dont be fighting now joke
so you think i should just run the amp to the headunit? and it would sound ok.
i was originally going to buy a mutant package but in another post i read not to even touch it, as their cheap.
didnt really have a budget in mind, just reasonable good quality. i like pioneer stuff and im not looking to vibrate the road or anything :laugh:
would saying 100-200 quid be tight lol i dont have a notion?
if i get this sorted soon then its 1 thing off my list, took my dog for her booster jags last night and came out with the possibility of her needing an operation!! not good £170

Yep Infinity are pretty decent, moreso than Sony at the moment.
Go for a 4-channel amp,an amp wiring kit and subwoofer. You should be able to get all 3 for under £200. Then bridge 2 of the amp channels into 1 to run the subwoofer, and use the other 2 channels to amp your front speakers (you'll need to run some speaker cable to them from the amp).
The JBL GT4 Subwoofer is an excellent starting point. The new GT5 is now available which means that the GT4's are now much cheaper (under £30 delivered on Ebay)!
Stick with your headunit for now, it should still have a few preouts for the amp.
yea i think it does because when i got it, i didnt no what to do with all the rca cables, theres 7 or 8 of them on that hu.
well just leaving work now, so ill be on ebay etc later, thanx!

Yeah thats pretty good, you'll also need a wiring kit though. You can find them on Ebay for around £20 (8awg)!
