Cheers for the advice and the indepth VT13.
I think I may have been "talked" into it.... but these are the things I got....
Went to supercheap. Asked bout headunits etc and so on. Explained what I had intended on doing.
He showed me some fusion fronts and parcels, that were on special (79 and 89 bucks), and then we were talking bout subs and amps... and I wanted sub ready to go (not having to buy a box for it) and I seen fusion amp/ sub... trying to keep them all the same LOL.
Anyways, he then said why don't you get the speakers kenwood to go with head unit (more bout that at the end).
Then he showed me amp and sub. but sub not ready to go, had to get box. So as you will see, got the kenwood front and parcel chose sony for the amp/ sub.

The head unit I WAS going to get was a double din, for 179... but was ex display and button was missing LOL, so he showed me single din. Anyways, the person who was buying the headunit for me, I sweet talked him/ hinted at "why not get the whole thing" and so thats what I did LOL (minus a few things... plug and play stuff, cos they didn't have it LOL) and well the proice went up. The headunit decided on is this one....

Please don't be saying "thats all **** stuff" cos thats not what I want to hear... who would LOL.
Now how well you think it all is together?
You can see that I am weeeelllllllllll over my "300 maybe 350 price bracket LOL
Cheers.

Hey you will be fine mate. Nothing is more a case of horses for courses than audio upgrades. Key thing is almost anything will give you improvement over factory and then it's just a matter of how far you are willing to go. Looks like you were keen to get more than just the head unit up front on a tight budget and there's nothing wrong with that. Good luck mate.

I would go splits rather then 6x9s. 6x9s are poor excuse for speakers. Everything you have listed is just cheap crap but hey if it works for you then more power to you.

Oh i always wanted more, still dont want crazy sound either, or i wont turn it up crazy... if it has the ability to go crazy lol... just thought it would have been a bit by bit... not a lump sum all at once.
I did make sure it was a four channel amp.

Sorry wraith. Replied without seeing your post.
Dude who is installing them all for me, said to return the kenwood dual cone for fronts and exchange for splits. Supercheap not have splits... 2 ways, but not splits. So dude doing installing putting in pheonix gold splits.
Amp will be powering fronts and s/w.
Parcel shelf and doors are from h/u.
I like the idea of parcel shel cos it like at ear level not feet level. Strange logic i know lol.
Got steering wheel control which i just love.
Once all the new wiring, cut outs etc are done. I can slowly update speakers i do have to better ones
Should you go by watts or rms?
I seen some with 160 watts that push out 65rms n the ones that are 150 watts that are 75rms for eg lol. Confusing as fook.

RMS is true power. Peak power is just a marketing number. Parcel shelf points to the roof not your ears though

Just bought five of these boss units they seem quite user friendly and the factory amplifications an upgrade on the original holden double din.
Buy an aerpro iso harness and solder the universal harness that comes with the head unit to it.
The wiring kits are cheap and work used them before on budget installs.
Used the swiss line 4 channel amps in past on budget installs. Arent amazing but dont overheat like a lot of busget amps
The pioneers are good budget speakers if you dont want to run a subwoofer the 3 way 6x9s fill the void of bass.
If youre only prepared to go brand new this is what id do for a very budget install.
But if youre prepared to go used i got a 4 channel 75w rms amp by jensen , wharfedale usb head unit, jbl 6.5" splits n hertz components for $80 yesterday for a car im selling.
