OK 306 this is what you do...
Save your money and upgrade it one piece at a time when you can afford it. Take time to do your research and find something that's in your budget but delivers good quality.
JBL components, I'm told, are extremely tasty. Your "crappy amp" as Red puts it will run the speakers, but don't expect them to be anywhere near their full potential when you crank it up loud.
But the components and start saving for a JBL amp.
Just one thing... don't get bored of saving and settle for 6x9's. If you do then I will personally hunt you down and shoot you
EDIT: I was using a JVC KDG-501 and a mate has the 401. JVC have some excellent stuff on the market and the head unit you have is very nice indeed. I have a feeling I've installed one of them for a friend, but it may have been a Pioneer that looked similar... Anyways, keep the unit

I'm not sure if it's the answer you were looking for or hoping for, but it's the route I'd adopt in your position.
Components up front and some cheaper co-axial speakers, JBL or what-ever takes your fancy in the rear.
I would see how it works with a JBL 4 channel amp powering the components and the co-axials. Then use the Amp you currently have for the Subs. If it's lacking punch then upgrade that part of the system.
Just don't expect miracles as soon as you get the components!

306, Scouse saw you tried to PM him and asked for you to come find him at www.digital-car.co.uk as he refuses to log in here. He also saw this thread earlier and asked to tell you that you should tell red to stick her views up her fat arse.

Bull****. Scousey logged in here yesterday (July 16).
I realize that he can't stand Red and he doesn't like me or the other moderators. But if he's not man enough to ignore or deal with the people he disagrees with, then.... then.... I don't know what then.
That's Scousey's issue to deal with.

If I had to guess he still has a cookie that logs him in when he comes to mp3car and since someone posted a link to this thread on digital-car he clicked the link and was logged in. But why doesn't his member info show his last activity as 7/16?
Whatever issues you all have with each other is not my concern, but I did read through this thread and it does seem Red and IC-C30 are going over the top with thier replies creating a negitive atmosphere for a new member who is just trying to get some info (how many "wtf's" is too many when responding to someone for the first time?). Isn't that what Scouse and DP used to get in trouble for? If I had to guess, this new member will go to digi-car and get the answers he needs from the people there who tend to really actually be nice to newbs that don't quite know what they are talking about and how to word thier questions properly.
Not looking for debate or arguments, as I really don't care that much about how you all go about your business, but I did want to post my 2 cents on the matter.

one thing I can tell you, is that sometimes on a tight budget, used old school equiptment off ebay can be a wonderful thing..
I have bought some old scool rockfords & old school orions & old school ppi's from ebay, that may not have been the prettiest, but quality amplification for sometimes dirt cheap...

I'd rather have a used quality mosfet amp for $150, than a new crappy amp for the same money...

precisely
it's so funny - the people that always ***** about treatment of newbies are also the ones who have no true understanding of what is being talked about. If they did, they would understand that we're essentially going around in circles, chasing our tails as it were, to try and get the point across...it's much like beating a dead horse...it gets very tired and repetitive after a while, especially when you're essentially saying the same things over and over again, only to be confronted with the same question or someone not accepting it as a fact or the truth.
I tried to help this guy, fact is, he apparently didn't want it. When he didn't get the answer he wanted, he runs away and cries...how is that our fault? |

I totally agree too! some of the old amps will last a lot longer then some new pieces of crap. i bet you can get some old soundstream reference amps for pretty cheap. or the old phoenix gold amps (before they sold out) and yes the older ppi's rocked! i had one back in the day as well.
