Hi all,
Basically ive got £250 to spend on a new stereo would just like to hear some recommnedations on what peeps have etc.
I do want something with amp/sub capabilities and a mp3 connection, so all and any advice would be much appreciated.
Also quick qustion, depending on what i get will i have to get one of them stupid stereo surround adaptor fingies???

Thanks much, Dan

Alpine. And yes you will need an adapter along with an adapter to keep your steering wheel controls.

thats whrere i got mine from. You will also need the other adapter for whatever headunit you choose, about a fiver.

As Matt says alpine are very good. Ive got a higher priced/spec JVC model which im very happy with.

Just make sure whatever headunit you go for has the abiltiy for the steering control.

I would recomend alpine for the head unit but i am running a full vibe system other than that e.g. Qb69s (square 6x9s), vibe a1 amp, vibe slick 6.5in door speakers and vibe cbr 12 inch active sub 1kw rms o ye:slayer:. So far touching wood i have found vibe to be very reliable and the subs are just savage.

What model active sub u got? 1kw rms is good from vibe

Savage compared to what? Vibe are a budget brand.

The loudest.com, mutant, ripspeed, toxic and fli (whitch is a sub devision of vibe and is in effect a "budget" version of vibe). Althought vibe isn't as good as say JL you also arn't paying JL's prices its like the middle ground.
I got quoted £190 for a set of 6.5 inch coaxel JLs where as vibe do a set of there 6.5 inch black air speakers for £70. Or i can go and buy a set of ripspeeds for £30 whitch are budget speakers.
Vibe offers exerlant sound quality, punchy powerfull bass and reliability. Unlike brands like toxic that are made to look pritty so that chavs can show there massive lime green subs off in the boots of there decked saxos with a 5 inch exhaust.

You pay for quality.

And its which not whitch.

Vibe CBR actives are a very optimistic 550w RMS but if your happy then thats your prerogative.
