[QUOTE="kensterken, post: 8716708, member: 680945"] Hi there go easy on me if you could ;) I have had enough of my mk TT Roadster sound so making some upgrades. I have already fitted a new head unit, and yesterday i removed the standard sub which was terrible and added a small sub cabinet and single unit. I don't want earth shattering bass i just want a good punch. I also decided to upgraded the door speakers which are 6.5 plus separate tweeters, i wanted to stick with that format over coaxials for better separation of sound as tweeters in door sit higher. I have my list below what i don't know what to choose is the amp do i go for a small bridged or run the fronts and sub off amp? I will list so far what i have. Head unit Pioneer X580DAB [IMG]https://products.pioneer-car.eu/sites/pioneer_products/files/styles/product_image_detail_510x237/public/product-images/MVH-X580DAB.jpg[/IMG] Front door speakers - Alpine S65C [URL='https://www.alpine.co.uk/p/Products/type-s-speakers37/s-s65c']https://www.alpine.co.uk/p/Products/typ ... s37/s-s65c[/URL] Rear sub enclosure home made with a single driver - ska 6.5inch sub (not glued and screwed yet i know!)
