Im buying these 3 things, are they all compatible and will i need any extra equipment?
Also, will i need a second battery installed to run 2400W to prevent it messing with my lights or such?
Thank you, this is my first system.
Trust me, You're not going to get a '2400W' system for around 150usd.
I've never heard of those speakers before, And watts is NOT something you choose with.
nope 150 is maybe enough to get you 500 watts
Okay well lets not judge it on price.
Just asking if this system is compatible.
And as my first kit i feel it is reasonable. Am i wrong?

Absolutely. And you should judge on price to an extent. Unless a mad scientist found out a way to make an extremely efficient amplifier with cheap components, that "2400" watt amp will probably start clipping and causing mad voltage drops at 500rms. Maybe even less. And those speakers... My god 1200 watts? Hell to the NO. They'll probably begin to fry on a 150-200 watt burst. Some companies bend the truth a bit by overrating their equiptment on technicalities, like how sony puts "1200 watts" on the front of their xplods, so the consumer says "Oh they can handle 1200 watts (even though watts means nothing to loudness) so they must be loud," when really they can only handle 1200 watts for an extremely short period of time before damage, but this company just straight up lies... I've never heard of the brand anyways. Its a scam, they want your money. Just cause its a first kit doesn't mean you should settle for worse-than-stock quality.
For cheap speakers that sound good I'd reccomend RE audio. Good stuff, its mass produced, but with quality nonetheless, and I've used their products in the past. For speakers you don't need 2400 watts, a 2 channel 300 watt amp or simmilar (based on what speakers you're getting) will do you good. Knukonceptz makes nice wiring kits, but if you want to go cheaper, just go to a local audio shop and see there. I'd reccomend a sundown audio A/B amplfieir but thats pricey. For good quality for the money hifonics or crunch amplifiers. That will all be compatible and sound banging, and is within a "first timer" budget, even though I don't believe in such a thing- my first "system" in my moms car consisted of RE audio equiptment I bought at 14 and by then I was hitting in the low 130's. Trust me car audio is VERY simple once you understand it. And make sure you know what your doing if you wire it yourself because a bad wiring job = shitty sound = broken equiptment = lots of tears.
Quick protip too, since your new to CA, one thing EVERYBODY must know FIRST (I think) before getting any equpitment/getting into it, is dont base ANYTHING off MAX ratings. MAX is how long somehting can handle for a few seconds, pair your equiptment based on RMS ratings, so for example a 120 watt RMS 300 watt Max/Peak speaker could be paired with say a 120 watt RMS 500 watt max amplifier, its pointless taking a 120 watt speaker and buying a 300 watt RMS amp, cause the extra 180 watts wont be used, and the amp will just be more expensive (if its a PROPERLY rated amp of course ;-) )
Yep. Gosh looking around Amazon.co.uk is tough.. all these brands I'm not familiar with.
I will tell you this.. for £25 you won't get much out of a pair of speakers... consider *good* speakers if you're going to amp them.
It's tough, since I don't know most of the brands on there.. but a couple I've used and liked are..
These Kenwoods

Could even amp those, on line 50w / channel.
something like..

If you want cheaper speakers that sound decent off of headunit power, try these sonys, I was fairly impressed with them honestly.

If you want some bassy bass, you're either going to need to get some fairly pricey speakers with a good amp, or look into an amp/sub, depending on the route you'd like to go.

I would NOT reccomend a pioneer CA amplifier. Overpriced lower quality equiptment. A different story for their HT, I'm rocking a nice pioneer 7.2 channel and its a quite nice amplifier, but their CA stuff isn't as good. Look at that amp- its capacitors are smaller than those on my damn motherboard- haha. An amp thats rated at 760 watts needs larger caps- you're gonna get some mad voltage drops trying to push out that power, unless you seriously upgrade your electrical.
I'd really reccomend crunch or hifonics, both brands on amazon, and most certainly better than pioneer. RE is also sold on amazon, and I'd recommend those over kenwoods or sony's, although if you want to be on budget (like I said though just cause your a first timer doesn't mean you shouldn't buy good equiptment) the kenwoods or sony's will do, but don't expect anything over decent par sound quality with minimal bass response.
And you arent going to get bassy bass out of door speakers, since door speakers are in "free air," or simply put not in an enclosure. They wont build up much sound pressure without a cabinet or resonate much on the lower frequencies. You'll just get a lot of door rattle and acoustic distortion. If you want deep sweet bass, you're gonna have to spend some money on a nice a/b class amplfier, and component speakers, which consist of a woofer and tweeter, which means you'll need to find a mounting spot for the tweeters and the crossover. And then get a more expensive amplifier. I don't think that your looking for that though (but for future reference maybe say what kind of music/sq your looking for, or if you want your trunk to slap and the ladies blouses to rip off).
Anyways, I feel like we arent answering your question at hand here, we're just shoving different brands up where different brands dont belong, so, yes, the system WILL go together, they are compatible, but they will be a major dissapointment, sound like shit, and probably break the first time you turn it up on your favorite song. I wouldn't condone that system, but its your choice- quality or a rip off.
Trying to piece together isht from .co.uk amazon ain't easy, lol.
Okay, well for around £150 total, what could i be looking at in terms of power?
And if you dont mind, would you be able to piece together a quick amp and speakers that is of good quality.
Thank you.
with 150 you'll probably be able to get 4 speakers that don't sound like shit
[editline]27th April 2013[/editline]
or 2 good ones
I'm guessing that's 4 speakers, no amp?
[QUOTE=Science;40442212]I'm guessing that's 4 speakers, no amp?[/QUOTE]
If your on budget doing all 4 speakers is just stupid. With that budget focus on your front stage, thats what you'll mainly hear. The rears just provide a full sound, which stock speakers are more than capable of doing.
And I need to know speaker size to piece together a system. If you don't know that just search your vehicle on google for front door speaker size.
This is the headunit i own.

Ill look at the speakers later.
[editline]28th April 2013[/editline]
Speakers are 6.5"
All these goofy brands!
Honestly, for a budget system I'd recommend decent fronts, and a small amp/sub.
Even something like 200-300 watts of amp/sub adds just enough to sound decent.
If the headunit has the proper settings, set the HPF around 80-100 to cut bass to speaks, gives you a little more headroom not wasting power making them play the power hungry bass notes.
Then set the LPF on the sub amp around the same, to taste.
I know masterwolf doesn't like the Kenwood speaks, but he had some taste for the good good stuff from what I've seen, lol. I personally have used and been impressed with the Kenwoods.. decent mids and highs for the price, and pair good with a sub.
Now, looking over the Amazon.co.uk stuff, I'm lost. I don't know any of the brands for amps / subs they offer, and that makes it hard.
'
I can tell you, though, that this package is a great deal:
[url]http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_21675_MTX-TNP212D2.html[/url]
I've installed it in a couple cars, and for the price for a box/amp/sub, it's great. Pair up with any 8ga amp kit and be happy.
This may even get the job done:
[url]http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_20062_MTX-TNP112D.html[/url]
Or even some ghetto stuff like Magnum.. it's a fairly underpowered setup, but for the $$$ not terrrrrrrible:
[url]http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_14931_Magnum-MB210SP-by-MTX-Audio.html[/url]
Dunno if sonic ships to the Europe, though.
But yea, for the best bang for your buck on a budget I'd rec decent enough fronts that are fairly bright and anything to kick a little bass for you.
