I do property investment meetings as a day job and am a head doorman in my evening job!

Cheers for the kind comment proccy, it's not as a business venture, just like to think I know my stuff... Don't get me wrong, I've done a few friends installs and people put on to me etc for cash...

Kinda believe in the forum ethos of what you put in you get out, ICE was always my area as when I was 18/19 many years ago it was what my money went on rather than insurance sapping engine mods so happy to share any advice I can...

cheers will - i may well be asking for a steer in a few weeks when i need to change my standard ice set-up, but dont have a first clue about any of the sh you've been on about...

i'll have about £500 budget to include everything, but wont need ipod connectivity or mp3 or anything

Yeah no worries, would you believe it I have not had a stereo in my car since Aug though, how ironic!

Had the interior out twice (once for santa pod and once for the sound deadening) and not decided how to do my boot install and which one or ones of my headunits to use! Suffice to say all speakers are only run off amps and need to finish modifying the current dash tweeter locations, so bought a few sets of Countrycruising to play around with in what little spare time I had...

Plus still want MORE sound deadening before I'm happy!!!

May be helping a couple of forum guys with their installs so let me know...

yeah sure thing, where are you based will?

Hatfield in Herts mate...
