I'm gonna be upgrading my ICE soon. Which stuff should I go for. I've been tempted to get some Fusion stuff cos its pretty to look at  ... Or some Audiobahn gear for the same reason! This stuff is quite expensive though and I was thinking that there may be some different stuff for sale for similar $. Any ideas? I want 2 x 2 Channel amps - brigable for a 12" sub, some 6x9's, a 12" sub and some components...

well i would say not to go for 6x9's but others say to get them.. It really all depends on what you are looking for.
If you want crazy loud or really nice sounds.. are you wanting an install that will make people drool, or are you after something that is simple and effective ??
Also what style of music do you listen to?? That will show what equipment you really need.
sorry for all the questions mate, but i wanna try and help you as much as possible

Yea the problem I found with the 6x9's is that there was too much sound in the back... If i got components and put them in the doors then i'm gessing i'd get the sme ammount of sounds just up front instead? Whats the problem with getting 6x9's cos I read in a different post not to use them...
Oh yea. I'm gonna be playing Hip Hop mainly, i want to keep it nice and simple and to have it looking quite nice as the amps and sub are going to be on show...

running the comps off the amp obviously - instead of having some 6x9's on the parcel shelf...

When you go to a concert do you stand with you back to the stage?
This is the same as putting 6x9's in the back. You want some good comps in the front and for hip hop an good 12" sub in the boot all running off 1 or 2 amps. also get good cabling!

Makes sense... But which stuff to go for!?!! I'm gonna get some comps for up front and I want a 12" sub, I wanna power it off 2 amps I think...
What about the Phoenix Gold Octane R series? They look pretty trick!

they do look good. Get this amp its made focal and is specifically for running comps up front and a sub. Im getting it with this sub. The amp will save space and it looks good also will be slightly cheaper than buying 2 2ch amps.

You reckon that'll be loud on that amp though? Cos its only gonna be 75w on the comps up front? I got 200w 6x9's at the mo, if poss I wanna keep the system as loud as i got at the mo!

dont get the 6x9s as they cancel out some of the bass frequencys ad eventually the sub will destroy them, get some decent components and amp them then you will be happy as larry

75w up front is about right, you dont need as much power for the high frequencies. 250w at the rear running a 300w rms sub would be loud but more importantly good quality. never comprimise quality for loudness, you will regret it.
