Undecided as of yet. Been looking at the US Amps range but money is getting spent in other areas at the minute (supercharger, Euro styling, new wheels) so I aim to have the install done for the summer.
I don't earn a massive amount, but I'm in my gap year before I go uni, so everything I do earn is spending money for the car 
Do you rate DLS amps?

hey guys, sorry to but in here you all seem to know ur stuff, iv got DLS amps, they are wicked!!!! iv also got ADS components 3 ways!!! they sound sweet but they dont go incredibbly loud but they are a nice sound, got few mates wiv installs all v expensive but they all like them, if you go to www.caraudioinnovations.co.uk you should see pics of mine and my mate ibiza. ill try and fimd some piocs of mine and put them up
You were pretty right in what went where in that list but as has been mentioned, it depends on what your listening preferances are,
of what I know I've added what these companies are best at as with everything the saying "jack of all trades master of none" applies (though JL Audio come close)
Alpine - Head unit's only really used in many audiophie competition cars
Diamond - Speakers are there forte, high level crystal clear sound for the components tend to have silk dome tweeters so very soft sound. Subs I've got a 6 year old 12 inch sub that's still sounds the nuts seriously solid build, weighs a ton, thumps big time and can follow the craziest of basslines without breaking a sweat!
DLS - Very good component speakers, never heard Sub's
Genesis - The Daddy of amp builders, hand made in the UK not one for the bassheads, hear very good things about there components!
JL Audio - Very good all rounders, very very good at Subs, got a set of comps myself nice sound for both rock & Dance.
MB Quart - very good component speakers, reasonably priced
Nakamichi - The cleanest sounding head unit's for competition, not flashy again not for bassheads!
Phoenix Gold - Long standing top level Amp's, crystal sound, very very expensive.
Pioneer - top of the midrange stuff, like Kenwood jack of all trades master of none.
Rainbow - very good components.
Rockford Fosgate - Very good amp's and Subs, not heard any components for a few years.
Soundstream - used to make very very good amps, not heard any for a while
Will champion the fact (as i went on in another thread) Installation is everything!
