Spend more on a decent amp for the components and the components themselves, they are more important than the sub.

maybe get a 4ch that will power the fronts and the sub. Like this: Link BRidge the rear channels to power the sub. will better value and you have more cash available to spend on some decent components

Personally I would always have a seperate amp for your sub. I totally agree that you should spend more money on front components tho - I spent 400 quid on my alpine DDDrive components and they kick ass on every other stereo I have heard.

lol, £150 for two speakers is crazy money already if youre car isnt going to be in a mag or be sponsered etc, which i doubt mine will be.

I have the Vibe SA-K comps but the tweeters and crossovers were shit, so im using Vibe SA-K mids with infinity comps and tweets, sound fucking lurrrrvley.
The volume and quality from the vibe mids is amazing, nowhere near what i expected.

tbh £150 aint alot, i guess its like anything car, pcs, houses, you can buy cheap but not gonna be the best quality.

People can still get what they are after for £150, its just a case of not having each sub available to them for demo.

no like i said, it depends what you want, mainstream stuff like kenwood, alpine, pioneer etc are going to be cheaper than dls, clif, ma audio, focal etc as they are a niche market of not just wanting to upgrade and fill a hole.
