First of all i know nothing about ice.
I was thinking of fitting an amp and sub to go along with the sony head unit,kenwood speakers and door tweeters(not connected) i already have in the car.

Don't want to spend alot on this so what do you think would be my best options?

I have a sub that i got from a mate is it any good or cheap sh@t.

Its cheap but it will do for you if your not after mad volume, IIRC its 500 watt if its the 12" 400 watt if its the 10" so it will pump quite well tbh
Wanted: Any old component speakers, complete or separate parts, let me know what you got :D

splx is cheap stuff really mate, you could probably buy another 10 or 12 inch sub off the bay for less than 30. like a pioneer or sony. these arent amazing but would definately be better than that one. and you can re use that box then.

If your at the meet on the 3rd we can discuss this in detail

You can have a listen to my setup if you'd like(it's nothing fancy)
