This is one way I would consider spending that £400.
Head Unit
Alpine 9874RR - £114.99
Front Components
Infinity Ref6520i - £69.99
Rear Coaxials
Alpine SPE-17C2 - £24.99
Sub/Amp/Box/Wiring
Infinity Ref1600a + Infinity Kappa 102.7 DVC - £189.99
TBH though I would buy from ebay/second hand, bargains to be had especially on amps (which tend to eat most of the budget). My Infinity 7521a was retailling at £120, bought for £58 from CAS; Alpine amp was retailling >£250, bought for £46.

WTFs Spingo? I'll send a tin over with Keith for you.

Right, what I got today is
. 1no, 720 watt XS XSA 720 Amp
. 1no, 900 watt XS XSA 900 AMP
. 2no, Lightning Audio P3.12.4 4ohms 300 watt Subs.
Good bad or ugly?
I'm assuming the 900watt Amp is uncalled for?
Little to no wiring with it though.

would have assumed/thought u woudl go for some good stuff tbh. XS is very very cheap stuff, yes it works but not really anything to go by when quality is concerned...
like i stated earlier, i woudl have gone for 1 decent 4 channel amp, 1 12" sub and a headunit of your choice (with 3 preouts)
systems can be built very very cheap these days. vibe active subs (built in amp) can be bougth for as litte as £50 these days and are very very good for what they are, as the enclosure is properly designed for the sub and then the amp is the correct ratint to match.
a single 4 channel amp would make life simpler aswell, because now to do things properly you will need a distribution block for the power and the earth ( easy £30 for them)
have a good look at the recomended subwoofer enclosure as they wont sounds right if there not in the correctly size box. a ported box will generaly be 3DB louder than the same sub in a sealed box.
sound deadening the boot floor/inner arches/boot can give as much as a 3DB gain aswell, and also make the car quieter when comuting and make the sound system sound alot better quality.
on a budget i woudl have probably gone for somethign along these lines

Ah I know its probably not the best quality of stuff, but it all came in a pre made Cavalier Boot build and only cost €80 (£60) so I may as well make use of it. That kit you showed me there looks spot on but the distance is the only trouble. Postage here would be a disaster!!
Whats my best bet with the stuff I have here? I intend to fit it, but dont know exactly what way, what needs added to it ect.
CK, thanks for the help!!

Can't find any decent specs on the XS amps so not sure of the best way to wire them in...
