the subs i chose because of where they need to go
the mb quart because they have a good rep for 6" components
the pioneer premier 6x9 because they give a nice warm sound which i like
the soundstream again they heve a good rep and i wanted a 5/6 channel amp and it was a good price the wiring and cap because they are good american brands and excellent value
plus i can get all of this kit at really good prices much cheaper than rrp in usa and far far cheaper than uk
genesis dls and rainbow are all excellent kit but unfortunately have a price to match!
on a side note if i decide to not use all the speakers in the micra and say use only five or six i can always use the rest in one of my other cars so no loss there pluss buying it all together saves over £160 in postage which pays for about half the speakers anyway! :laugh:
oh yeah and the thing with the 6x9's that you so hate and the 8" subs is that being a 30+year old dad i use the car for all sorts of things including shopping, camping and trips to the diy store and so need the boot i would have the 12"sub in a removable box, when space was needed i could take it out but still have reasonable base and then when space wasnt needed drop it back in and enjoy the lows a bit more, seems sensible to me.
