MAn all i do is ask questions on these forums!!

the nice people at alberts car stereo fixed my centre console :P so happy bout that should send em a carton or sumthing but id drink it before it get sent.. anyway yeh i need a cheap sub in my car cause.. i like bass... and it seems a shame that i have more bass in my bedroom than what i got in my car!

I was lucky enough to sit in the back seat with um someone the other night and my back speakers are good eh!! but not as good as they could be!!!

as someone else pointed out, head units give out around 25rms and these back ones take twice that ammount!! so amp it up eh!!

I got 3 sets of preouts and around hmmmm 300 to spend!! is this an impossible question or should i just save for another few months till i get enough money to spend on the front speakers n sub/amp!!!

Or should i get a 4 way amp and new front speakers/splits and just connect them four cause In my friends old car (i got the back pioneers of him) when he sold his subs it still cranked eh but it was only a deck - amp- speakers setup!!!

Im looking for cheap here!!!!

Thanks to anyone replyin!!

JB-Hifi usually have sales every 2-3months or so. My bro picked up 2 12" Kickers for $110 each.
As for an amp, you could get something simple for about $200-$300, or if u wanna amp up your rear speakers as well, you should get a 4channel (4x300w or 4x200w) amp. You could then bridge the sub, and run the rears normally. Alternatively if u dont want a sub, some Kenwood 300/330w 7x10's pump out a fair bit of bass.
When wiring make sure u dont run your power cables together with speaker cables.
