    speakers should be fine to run off the head unit for a low budget system, just got for a sub and a mono block amp.

    I would recommend to buy an amp from a seller on here,in the For sale section,really cheap!
    A sub you can pick up for $120 or so for a decent 12".

    hi mate. either get a mono-blok or a 2-channel amp. i have a 200wRMS sub and a 250wRMS 2-channel amp in my Accord & its really loud (sometimes defeaning and u can feel that bass pumpin in ur chest). if that's what ur after, u wouldnt need to go any further than around the 200-250wRMS mark.

    it would be good if u can get sony all throughout, to compliment your sony head and speakers.

    sorry cant recommend anything to u, i tried to look in ebay and ryda for an amp that would be suitable, but not sure if sony makes it around that 250rms mark.

    GOOD LUCK!

    My amp is Jaycar (Response)...awesome amp! kicks a$$. really good value for money...

    If you dont have splits at the front (meaning speakers + tweeters + crossovers), then i wouldnt bother hooking up an amp to your front speakers (no noticeable difference in quality, especially at your price range). And I wouldnt bother hooking up an amp to your rears (same thing, wont be too much difference in quality).

    I would just stick to a direct amp to your sub and u will be amazed of the BIG difference it will make. Might as well pay for a powerful amp and a sub that can take a beating.

    Now if you're really serious about your sounds, u should one day get your hands on component speakers (splits). Sounds heaps better than normal front speakers especially when hooked up to an amp.
