Time for a Sub

Alright guys,

Need some help here!

Basically I want to run a sub in the polo now and i'm currently using Fusion componants in the front. Eventually I want rear door speakers and enough to power them all by an amp. So for now i'm thinking of:

Monoblock amp
12" sub with box

This should mean that in the future i'm able to power the 4 door speakers and a sub if I get a 4 channel amp in addition to the above? Can anyone recommend any good brands which are pretty cheap? I wont be buying brand new as I just don't have the cash but I was going to go for a JBL 12" sub (with box if possible, if not can anyone show me how to fit the subwoofer speaker into the box?). No idea about the amps so need some assistance there :)

Never had anything like this before so everything is all a bit new!

All wired in and working, sounds mint although I need to fine tune the highs and mids. You don't know how bad it sounded until you had a sub though :lol:

Nope none at all, just a running help with alex on the phone so was pretty easy just followed the instructions. still need to work out how i'm going to sort out the wires in the boot, maybe do a small build to get it sitting right :|

The ground wire was tiny! here are a couple of pics and one of how filthy my car is atm.

Cant help noticing, are your front seats the 3 door version? And are they in the wrong sides?

Yep my seats are from a 3 door, but I don't use the handles at all. No both sides have the pulling arm to drop them forward, they have a handle both sides so passengers in the back can drop the seat forwards.

Ah Cool, There's nothing wrong with having the three door fronts, could only ever be useful!!!
