on the website it said the DDLs were $230, and i was only looking for coaxials cos i dont think the vz ute cabin has tweeters in it? im not sure, are components better speakers to go with for me? and im not sure on my budget haha but id say probs up to and around $300 for speakers, $800 to $1000 for sub/amp/box, the headunit is $600 and whatever else ill need like wiring ill just get. ill google them brands now cos im on my tafe lunch break haha
Component speakers are much much better, your ute does have tweeters in the corners of the dash. Where abouts are you located? There will be a shop near by which stocks the products I am quoting then you go listen and choose what you like
Thats a fairly big budget for the sub/amp/box/wiring, so be sure not to skimp on the speakers, these are afterall, where 100hz to 25khz of your sound is coming from
.
For sub, i'd recommend something small, though slimline subs often have a reduced output due to their design. Look at the Polk MM 10" range, these are not a shallow mount sub however are not very deep. Similarly for a ute i'd also recommend something like the Focal Bus 25 series, its a small subwoofer complete with amplifier, box. Its a self contained active unit. You could run one or even two of these, they easily fit under the seats or behind the seats. Then it just leaves a small 2 channel amp to run your splits. Or go with a shallow mount sub, find a box which fits or have one made, then get a 4 channel amp and use rear channels bridged for sub and front channels for the splits. The Focal active sub may be a good bet, they have fantastic output for their size and you don't have to worry about finding a box to find or anything. The Focal sub/amp/box active all in one setup retails for $549 so its well in your budget, with a enough left over for perhaps a small Jaycar 4x50wrms amp bridged for your splits, or whatever is one sale at JB Hi-Fi or wow.
