really struggling with what to get for my polo.
ideally i want to spend about Â£150 on a sub and amp. and about Â£50-60 on new door speakers for the front...
can anyone advise on whats the best for the money...

thought these looked ok for the door speakers?

Those speakers look pretty good for that price range! the RMS aint bad and the freq response is fairly decent.

Search for sub packages. There's alot out there. Buying seperately will rack up, a decent wire kit will cost around Â£30. For low price ranged packages JBL Sony and Pioneer are quite good. Maybe Kenwood also. For a little more you can get Alpine aswell.

Have a look at this page for something you fancy:

thanks tim think il stick with the door speakers

i dont know if you looked at the JBL sub and amp link and the vibe wiring kit as i edited the original post, but if you did do you think its a decent buy?

Yeh that's not bad also. However, if your planning on just sticking with that setup I wouldn't worry about upgrading the wiring kit, for it'll be fine with that kit. If your future proofing however you may want to upgrade.

Give them a ring first though, you may be able to haggle a better wire kit out of them with the deal!

thanks alot tim
going to give them a call tomorrow
only reason i looked at the vibe wiring kit is because it can be unclipped so the sub and amp can be removed quickly.. can this be done on an wiring kit?
(i ride bmx so need to get the bike in and seats down)

also im right in thinking the front door speakers are 17cm?

Yeh you can do that for any kit mate, I also skateboard so I know the feeling. what you want to do is fuse the kit in the engine bay like you normally would, but then also install another fuse in the boot right by the amp, so when come to disconnect it all, disconnect the fuse aswell to keep it all safe and easy. (saves popping the bonnet and fiddling about with the one in there).

If you install your amp and fuse box to the back of your sub box, it'll be really really easy. That or put them on the rear of your seats, but I'm guessing you have those down for your Bikes?

For the 6N2 (I'm guessing that's what you have judging by your sig?) they take 6.5" or 17cm speakers yeh.

thanks mate, yeah i think il probably mount the amp on the side of the box just so its easier to remove it all at once.

and also how hard are the front comps to fit with the seperate crossovers?

Easy mate. Esp. if your using existing speakers wiring. Just plug in and play.

Here's where I mounted the crossovers
