Well they seem to be great speakers but...
 are you able to get the sub, cables, box for the sub and a good 4 channel amp for 150 quid??

[Wayne]

well, i have £350 to play with

i was looking at this for a sub

and these for the front speakers
(got amazing reviews from everyone)

these for the rear speakers

and then i need a 4 channel amp

and YES, i reckon i might have to go over budget

Well to power this sub you'll need a little more powerful amp, and dls speakers don't look like they are able to handle too much power ( well at least they are not in specs) and they COST.
Personally I would rather stick to Alpine front and back. Especially if you are almost getting the all Alpine setup.
This usually produces great results, and you'll save money

[Wayne]

oh ok, then maybe i will stick with an all Alpine setup

cheers

There is a lot to be said for sticking to the same brand, as it prevents any unwanted overlap in frequencies.

Go for the best fronts you can afford, don`t try to get it all within the budget, as better to save for some good speakers for the rear and add them as you go along rather than buying an entry level set just because they were affordable at the time.

Mathewst - I agree with you,  MacAudio are very good speakers - I used to be a dealer here for them around ten years ago, but not so easy to get here in the uK as the importers keep going bust !

Personal favourite speaker brand is Focal.

Thanks Dave

looks like i will go with Alpine and stay the same manufacturer with my setup

thanks to everyone for the advice
