vw golf atm, hoping within the next year to move into a civic type-r ep3, but for now vw golf standard 1.4L

Hi all, just trying to get to grips with all of this series and paralel wiring stuff. I am looking at buying a set of 4 100W continuous load speakers for my car (at the standard 4ohm). I understand now that if you wire these in a parelel circuit you will be able to use a 2ohm load for them. The amplifier i'm looking at says it powers 2x95w at 2 ohms. So if i wire 2 speakers up to one connection on the amp will it power both speakers at 95w or send 95w to split between the speakers. I dont know if i need a 2x200w at 2ohms or if this amp is perfectly capable. Just so it helps explain the parts im looking at, i'll provide links to them to see if anyone can tell me if im going in the right direction or not. 1x http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/hertz-ep2.html 1x set of http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/hertz-hi-energy-hcx-165-3.html 1x set of http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/hertz-energy-esk-165-3.html If the amp is not correct can somebody make a suggestion of what i should be looking for, and also if its a bad combination of speakers let me know Thanks, Jamie

Thanks for the info guys, i think i will end up going for an amp like said above one channel each and it will probably be a sundown amp. Considering i listen to a wide variety of music, if i got the 4 at 100rms ie total 400 watts, what would you recommend for a subwoofer as it can vary from metal to rap and chart stuff. Thanks again, appreciated help Jamie

Hi all, I am looking for any information possible regarding a setup for my vw golf. I am looking to replace front indoor speakers and add some new ones to the rear doors (if suggested of course). I am also looking for a subwoofer to place in a box in the boot, one or two depending again on suggestions. I have no real experience with them in any way so any information is really appreciated. I have no experience of what amplifiers would be needed either or how to wire a system up. The music i am aiming my setup at will be mainly rock and metal but could quite easily include most genres, i am going for a quality of sound rather than something just to make a thud or loud noise. I am looking at hundreds rather than thousands in terms of cash. If i need to provide any more information, please let me know. Thanks up front for any replies, Jamie

I might check out the Fi stuff pretty soon, i have been eyeing up 2 of the Ascendant Audio Assassin 250w 10" @ http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/ascendant-...sin-p-6707.html and fitting it in a sealed box. Along side this i was looking at the sundown SAX 100.4, bridge 1+2 and 3+4 to give 320w at 4ohms per output. Would you think that 2x 250w would give me enough in terms of sq and loudness and what sort of ratio should your subs power be in relation to your total component power? I have also briefly been looking at the Pioneer FH-P80BT head unit to replace my old mutant unit. I will post that up in the head unit section to ask for comments on that at some point.

I have an old head unit Mutant MT1105USB, however i am looking to change this possibly as its a little worse for wear

The speakers currently in the doors are 16.25cm (as shown in picture) and the tweaters are located at the front end of the door above the door panel (as shown in picture). The dimensions of the boot are about 1000mm width x 700mm depth x 450mm height as a maximum area (could maybe allow a little extra on the 700mm if needed. As for ported or sealed, as i said i'm not experienced with whats best but am led to believe for a better quality of sound it would be sealed rather than ported. Is there a reason for rearfill being disliked? Whether i use a stock electrical system will be down to suggestions as i am not best clued up on this. Total budget would be flexible really, although im trying to keep it within hundreds rather than thousands. im open to the suggestions on budget though really so.
