adam if youre going for the fat in-car, i'd certainly consider a decent alarm / immobiliser, one with either IR cabin movement sensors or pressure sensors at least. its a simple coat-hanger job to get in through locked doors, and pouring money into something that some shady TWOC'er can easily take a fancy to and walk away with quite painlessly, is not my ideal way to get rid of disposable income.<br>
<br>
if you want to engineer the system properly you want a couple of amps, one for the subs, one for the cabin speakers, and/or the smaller ones can possibly be driven by the head unit. talk to someone local, ICE dealers are everywhere these days, and someone who knows what they're doing should be able to easily spec a system for you, that should include low pass filters for subs and high pass filters for tweeters, some amps have filters built in. stuffing inappropriate frequencies under power through expensive speakers will cause wow/flutter, minor distortion, lesser sound clarity at best, or possibly damage under prolonged abuse.<br>
<br>
bigger alternator and battery (I sell batteries amongst other and could bore you to tears with tech stuff on this topic) definitely required to drive this lot, you could even go completely daft and consider split charging to a separate battery in the boot, preferably something like those optima or exide spiral cell gel things, lots of CCA's, compact, nice.<br>
<br>
all comes with a fat price tag too, matey, you can blow 1k on this easily without the alarm, battery and alternator if you do it properly!<br>

ps - if you talk to an ICE place, make sure its someone reputable who knows the tech stuff, and not some part time nova SR boy. they should be able to show you the specs on frequency responses of the speakers vs what the filters will pass, on top of making sure speaker resistance matches what the amp is spec'd for, i.e. ohms. you dont need masses of power to make it loud, and sound clarity is surely the priority over how loud it is.<br>
<br>
yawn. sorry.
