well for a start, u want door speakers. u will need an amp and a half decent head unit.
try and get the same brand door speakers, subs and amp for the best quality sound.
the watts u want a peak of about 110 if u can find it in the door speakers.
i have jbl gt5's and they are 105 peak.
the sub you'll have to ask someone else for whats best coz im not all that sure..

I've never seen 2 such stupid responses in 1 thread.

Danlewis...

All the same brand, peak figures? With such little knowledge i'd suggest you don't give future advice on this topic until you've done a little research.

Outwax...

Employees in an audio shop will only recommend what they sell not necessary what is the best on the market for your price range. There's a few very knowledgeable people on these forums. The main reason why people have problems with a system is lack of knowledge therefore the system gets set up wrong, it's got nothing to with the equipment recommended by members on here.
