Looking at some new components, no ICE experience, can't afford loads...

I want good quality max budget approx £200

Found a deal for...

Infinity RA-7521A 260W RMS amplifier
Infinity Reference 1240w 12" 1000W (250W RMS) subwoofer
12" sub-box
Autoleads PC4-27 wiring kit
£150

plus
Infinity: Reference 5002i - 13cm speakers
13cm (5.25") 2 way speaker
Peak power: 135 W
RMS power:45W
Voice coil: 4Ω
£42

Got a basic Kenwood head unit I might replace later when I can afford/

Planning on the 13cm in the front (still got the original crappy blaupunkt, and then the bass and amp in the boot/back seat? (I dont have to worry about passengers!)

Usual questions...will they fit...go together....help/suggestions welcome!

Sounds good for your budget, but I'd go for the components instead of 2ways for the front. It'll cost you an extra £50ish but well worth it.

agreed.... co-axal speakers are poo...

You wont go wrong with infinity components mate at the front... ive just installed the 5.25 woofer and x-overs with tweeters made by infinity, they are 75w rms and i amp'd them up yesterday................WOW! absolutly amazing from such a small speaker... dont go down the coaxal route mate you will regret it! i paid £50 for my infinity components, brand new box and still in plastic off ebay! good luck dude :wink:
