the audio system in my lude is very poor so i was wondering what peeps have done to improve their own , i am very into my dance/clubland type of music so i really wont to have the bass so will be adding a sub will be a run of the mill sub box for now but will look into making a more custom enclosure at a later date , as i am going to be replacing my full interior very soon i will take this opportunity to run any cables while its all out

I fitted FLI all round, still very happy with them 2 years later.

I've used infinity and focal components in the front of mine (infinity kappa in the green ukdm and focal in the JDM bb1 and bb4).
Both are great but the focals are best.
On a 4g it's pretty important the add sound deadening to be honest though. You need cld tiles on the front door outer skins as a minimum, cause they are such a big, undamped panel. They also need closed cell foam on the inside skin.

After doing that, you will probably start chasing panel vibration round the rest of the car (roof, rear quarters, boot etc) but front doors in the best place to start.

You don't need to cover all of the panel with cld tiles BTW, despite what marketing gumpf might say.

Sounddeadenershowdown.com is a good site for info (and products, albeit there is no UK importer, so you have to pay import duty on them).

what is your budget?

this is my spec
- Alpine IVE-W530BT - 2din head unit
- Alpine PXA-H800 + RUX-C800 - sound processor
- Alpine TUE-T150DV - tuner DVB
- Alpine HCE-C305R - rear view camera system
- Alpine RUE-4191 - remote controller
- DLS A6 monoblock amplifier
- DLS A4 4ch amplifier
- DLS R6A front component speakers
- VIBE SLR EVO S12 subwoofer
I still wanna change sub. I'm planning 2x8inch sundown woofers in bassreflex box. I should be able to use A6 amplifier then.

I would suggest the 4th Gen Gathers DSP

Might take some time to get the parts (if you can find them) but its a cracking sound from it and looks very cool in an OEM way

Can't recall the model numbers, but not really relevant anyway tbf, because they are old models.

These are probably the current equivalent infinity http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/infinit ... components

And these the equivalent focal http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/focal-p ... ker-system
