A good head unit will power the 4 inch speakers OK but if you run them from an amp you can use the low pass/cut/high pass filter to cut out some of the bass from them that will only cause distortion on small speakers. Should have wiring for front speakers on head unit and accessories power feed but no constant power (get that from the clock wiring). Rear speaker wiring will go to a plug under drivers seat, if it has rear speakers there will be a small amp there. When cutting the hole for the head unit you need to trim a little bit off the clock mounting bracket so that the mounting sleeve sits against the clock mounting screw and then work back to the choke knob/cable. After you have the cutout the right size refit the facia and file it out to the same size as the new larger hole you have made behind it. Cheers MD

Thanks foxtrot3, I'm thinking I'll go with a powered sub, as room is limited and I want to keep the boot free for other things. Do many/any powered subs have 'low pass/cut/high pass filter' to control the speakers? Or do they usually just supply power for the sub?
The clock is quite high on the dash in my wagon, under it is the air con then the stereo under that, is this different to the one you were referrring to?
I was looking at this powered sub 'Pioneer
TS-WX130DA COMPACT ACTIVE SUBWOOFER (160W MAX)" What do you think? Could you recommend anything better?
Thanks
