trials_pimp Posted March 18, 2005 Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 Well, what you do is you take your £300 and go to your local car audio shop/Halfords. You ask the nice man behind the counter if he can help you. You say " I have this big wedge of cash, and want a Cd headunit, that can play MP3, and be connected to my Zen" He says "Ok sir, we have these" You look at them, say ummmmmmmm. He gives yuo some advise about what each one does, you make a decision, and purchase one. Hardly rocket science........... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadManMike Posted March 22, 2005 Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 Infinity 6 x 9 speakers are great, whack that in google and see what bargains you can find... My friend has them, they handle bass very well and he got his for £75. They mount on your parcel shelf. (Holes may need to be cut with a jig saw... it's piss easy though) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Holes may need to be cut with a jig saw... it's piss easy though) ← Or if you don't want them on display to pikeys you can easily make 2 little enclosures for them and stick them in your boot.. My Pioneer head unit is pretty funky.. the front comes down to load CD etc.. Plays mp3/wma and everything.. My old Aiwa one had a remote which never got used.. No need when it's right next to you lol Check out the www.fiestaturbo.com forum.. People are always selling decent stuff there :S I've got JBL 6x9s.. They do the job well. 350W, quite bassy etc.. Also a nice 1000w JBL 12" sub to add to the boomin.. But you said you don't want one, your loss :S Dave, I could probably get you a niice headunit/speakers pretty cheap.. I'll have an ask around for you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Dave Posted March 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 Long as it's not the busted cd you brought into action bikes Joe,ross,chris,andy,leigh,rat ross all feel free to back me up LEON LMFAO Yes, this is very true Whats your point ? it had one song from busted one it...so what i thought it was a good song, i also like thrice, disturbed, trance, gwen stafani, three doors down, greenday.....i like lots of things :S didnt actualy think you were there joe either :D anyway :) I think ross is guna help me out with fitting them so there not on display mart :) have you got a new headunit since i came in your car? i didnt remeber it sliding down :) lol Thanks for all your help everyone :S Daveio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
