Finished my ICE installation.
I'll attach some pics later...here is the details:

Pioneer DEH8450MP
10" Coustic sub (sealed box)
Coustic 240 Watt 2-Channel amp
dunno 'bout the cabling...sorry

it's not a high-end system,coz I just wanna add a little bass...
and it's bassy enough for me

not yet mate..I'm doing a step-by-step upgrade..
I'll upgrade the front speakers soon..the guy gave me a good deal..
but for now the sub should be enough

no need to upgrade the speakers, get a good quality 2 channel amp and run the back speakers off it, no need to amp front speakers, i dont find high power front speakers do much to be honest, if anything, get nice tweeters.!!!

have fun!!

Thanks for the advice....if I decided to amp the rear speakers...wouldnt it be too bassy then..remembering the rear speakers are 6x9s?

well it all depends what sort of tuning u do!!!! it is not really poss to get massive bass from the 6x9's, they will vibrate to bits.!!!!

tune them out so you dont get bass through them that much, in my car, i cut off every frequency below 80hz, this will allow a loudersound from them, and will also allow the sub to do the job you bought it for.
