    i think im complicating myself here, i crack under pressure, !

    i think ill stick with

    Kenwood Head Unit
    Kenwood Tweaters (in replacement of speakers in dash)
    Pioneer 33watt 6x9s (6x9s and tweaters off HU)
    Kenwood amp
    2x Kenwood subs

    +c1 and -c2 for one sub
    +c3 and -c4 for two sub

    seems a waste of channels though...

    No no no!!! 3 subs - NO!!!

    Stick with 2 subs at most in a Nova. Also don't wire the tweeters staright to the headunit unless you're going to be putting some kind of high pass filter (capacitor) inline, otherwise they'll get sub, mid and treble frequencys sound awful and probably won't last too long.

    Stick with a simple set-up, I've given my advice on what you should go for in a earlier post in this thread, it's simple and bloody effective.

    DONT DO THREE SUBS!
    it's that simple. you'll have a n amp that will be so under powering the subs. like jules has said and a few others, stick one or two in.
    i had two and it blows your ears off.

    You might find the amp simply isnt powerfull enough to run 2 subs, i used to have a kenwood amp and the bass boost only worked on channels 3-4. I'm runing 2 12" pioneer 304c's(600w) of a PG XS2200(250rms). I find this is more than enough power and much much better then the kenwood amp i use to have.

    , ok, 2 subs it is then!

    can you suggest a decent pair of tweeters, and oneof those little box thingsys to make sure only the high pitched sounds go to them?

    cheerz!

    ive changed my mind about having 3 subs now, ill stick with the 2, 2 should be ample, plus, limited space in the boot as there will be a mini fridge in there too!

    were is the best place to fix the amp?

    cheerz!
