Hi there,
I am new to this whole thing and have read (as far as I can tell) most of the stickys here as well as others! I need some advice, I'm okay in wiring however would need some advice in the whole set-up complete guide. As far as I can tell, head unit has the connections these then (in a normal set-up) would take those +- wires to the speakers. Correct? Now, in this set-up we have the head unit and that goes to an Amp then that goes to the various speakers? Lastly, for a sub does that go in the Amp or does it just go straight to the sub?
Now, I am also looking for some advice on a budget system. It's for my gf and she does not want to spend to much. I am going to get her a head unit for it so the budget is £200 (GBP) for the speakers and the sub. She drives a Rover 216 Coupe so it needs to fit that. I believe the speakers are Front: 170mm Rear: 8". As for the sub, it does not need to be massive she just wants a clean bass. So was looking at a sealed enclose, maybe one I built if it helps budget.
Lastly, with the budget of £200 I am getting her a head unit, she want it to be in blue (Yeah I know) so I need some advice on that. Would this be an okay choice to use for it?

Budget £200 for speakers
Front 170mm
Rear 8" - Currently in the shelf above the boot
Need a sub - Sealed enclosure, will build if I have to
What head unit
Can you give me a help doing the idea for the wiring?
Thanks, Hope they are not to "nooby" questions
