    Hi all!

    I am a newb to car audio, I have been trying to research sound systems for my new car (Nissan Pulsar 2001 N16 sedan).
    After my research, I have got a system put together for me by the staff at JB HI-FI.
    Can you please tell me if this is good and if it is worth the purchase?

    Fronts - JL audio - c2600x..........$200
    Backs - JL audio - c2600............$250
    Sub - JL audio - cp112wo-4........$245
    Amp -JL audio xd7005................$595
    HeadUnit - JVC - kdr926bt..........$280

    Total Price = $1470

    Is that good? And is the subwoofer enough bass for the car? i want a decent amount of bass! Also is the 5 channel amp ok? or should i get a 4 channel + MonoBlock?

    Thanks for any help & feedback!

    With the subwoofer, should i maybe upgrade it to something like an Alpine Type R sub? or are they pretty much the same output?

    I have got a bit of cash to play with, so if you think i should spend more money into the sub then i can do so (mainly want something that will make the rear view mirror shake, but not sound like i got king kong in the trunk! lol)

    Hey sorry guys! i should of mentioned I live in Australia!
    The prices of that equipment are a lot different in our country, So no wonder you were like WTF? with prices I listed lol
    But thanks for you're help!
    Do you guys think that the JL w0v2 Subwoofer(300 watts RMS) be enough bass? or should i go for Dual Subs?
