this sounds all abit....funny.
what r u using splx or something?
I've never known anyone to pump 1000 watts or 800 for that matter into a pair of 6x9's.
it would be great if u cud tell us the models and brands u own.

i think u better state the rms figures.
If it's 800 watt for channel im guessing thats 200 per channel?
and I dont mean to sound like a tit but I've never heard of Toxic or Accelarator...
what is the suggested amount to use of the 6x9's?

That Toxic amp looks erm Toxic.
Tell me the RMS figures for the 6x9's or a link to a company selling them with a picture and I'll try n find an amp worth considering with.
800 watts for 100 pounds looks abit dangerous.

oh right i see u have.
I doubt weather those r the rms ratings for the amp.
personally i wouldnt even consider using 6x9s with subs, i am sure alot of ppl will say the same.
these 6x9s are only 80 watt rms, u can see y i was a little apprihensive about u sayin ur gonna run 1000 watts into them.
I suggest u look for a two channel amp which delivers 100 watts rms into each channel.

No, it all looks like cheap shite.
Bin the 6x9's, get a DECENT amp and set of components and there ya go, decent sounding system.
NO amp costing £60 -£100 is going to be of any quality at all, and those figures are DEFFO peak, the amp is probably 4 x 25-50w RMS at most.

 most people wudda gone mental if they sed they're stuff is shite.. well done ultra_corsa 4 not goin mad
If u r on a tight budget surely it'd be worth ur while saving up for half decent stuff (no offence) rather than instant buying with wot money u got..! U can get decent stuff cheap ya know, just shop about..even if ya get an old model (last years, etc) will still be good quality I know nout about ICe tech stuff but I know its worth saving ya pennies and getting decent stuff that'll last and sound good (dont 4get to deaden ya boot and doors...nout worse than a vibrating car)
