I'll be adding my Alpine 4 x 55W head unit + CD Changer. I want to add some speakers to be powered by the head unit (I don't want a seperate amp for the speakers).
Obviously I don't want anything too good, that I'm not gonna get the best out of without a seperate amp. I'm just looking for a nice quality system, that isn't ridiculously loud and I don't wanna spend a fortune.
The fronts will accomodate up to a 6.5" component with the limiting factor being the depth of the magnet, as spacers will be needed. 12mm generally seems to be the norm.
I'd like to spend at most £150 on components for the front and I imagine I could probably get something for a hundred or less that would be good enough for the head unit? What would people recommend?
I also want to add a small sub as stealthily as possible. I've been looking at things like;
http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=2456 (active 10")
They also have pre built Stealth Boxes for my car, which I assume I could fit some bits into?
They've also got some nice looking enclosed subs, I just want a little bit of bass, for not too much money, as well hidden as poss.
I assume as regars fitting, as I'm not going crazy, I can just get someone to replace the front speakers, head unit, fit a sub and cable it. I'm not gonna replace rears, I'm wondering if I should get them disconnected so as not to blow them.
Any advice greatly appreciated (even if it is a dull system, compare to ones you normally talk about)
cheers
