car audio,

sort your battery and power supply if ur wanting to pump out any more than 1000wRMS (thats for your TOTAL sytem)

JL subs are not crap JL always rate there subs in realistic RMS values, most others, tell u peak. Kicker Square subs are shite for SQ.. because there square. in short. (i hope ur not confusing JL with JBL btw JBL are a budget range.)

u'll get alot of ppl goin on about dont get coaxial.. they generally are more expensive and provide more accurate sound, but all those crossovers drain power. and most ppl cant actually tell.

get good power one of those red/yellow top batterys, minimum 4awg cable, dont forget to put better cable between your altenator and your batt! (doing this isnt really nessecary for lower power, more EFFICIANT systems)

a six channel amp would be good for 1 (id say 12")sub (run it bridged) and 2 rear 2fronts.

dont bother with a powercap.

in all honesty,wattage isnt the be all an end all of a good sytem, all it means is how much power it uses, not how much it PUTS OUT

take carefull note of sensitivity, if u find a sub with higher than 90db/w your onto a winner.

and Enclosures are important. ported gives u a fixed boost in a certain frequency. RnB heads should have these..

Hardcore, no way, no where near tight enough. go closed, its got to keep up with the speed :D.

and despite what ppl might say, almost anything is good, aslong as u avoid buget ranges. i had pioneer myself. and i know some ppl who spent 10x as much as me and were using 10x as much juice, and still couldnt get the same volume or clarity. just because i planned ahead and kept things balanced.(slight exagertaion lol)

over amping is better than not enough power, just remeber, just because u can make ur system go REALLY loud, doesent mean ur speakers will handle it for very long. plenty of breathing room power wise give u reliability, and virtually no distortion.(as long as u dont thrash your speakers)

finally, never use the amp in your head unit if u can help it. 50w x 4 = about 10wrms per channel! weedy!

so yea... whats ur budget ?

for a decent but cheap setup, ur lookin at about 350~400

headunit (with front and rear rca)
6 channel amp
12" sub
6x9 in the rear, and i think corsa's have 5" up front check on some random corsa forum though about that.
and a decent 4awg wireing kit.

if u go infinity, they do a decent 6channel amp for about 150, get a headunit for 100, sub for 50, 6x9's and 5" coax's plus a wireing kit. should just fit inside, £350~£400. that would be a sweet setup.
