tink they're pretty crap. only heard it through standard speakers tho, so cud be wrong. i don't really like the jvc head units. U can prolly pick up a good (pioneer or summat) secondhand package off ebay for a similar price that will be better.

Dont buy any thing from halfords m8, For ?150 or even a little more youle be able to get something much better by ordering it from bass junkies or places like that & are advertised in the back of max power 7 fast car ect,

Bass junkies r doing a pioneer deh 6500 cd head unit for ?179 instead of about ?299 which halfords would charge.

Hope that helps m8

The trouble with those place you see in the back of the car 'n arse mags is that often they aren't offical dealers for the products they are selling, at least Halfords / Ripspeed will be, so if you need to take it back there shouldn't be a problem.

Doesn't mean that something will go wrong though does it?
If something does go wrong then it's not "Bass Junkiez" fault, normally it's a manufacturing fault from the company that made the product (Clarion, Sony, Kenwood, Alpine etc etc etc). If this happens in most places, like Ripspeed for example, you'd take it back and ask for a replacement and it's sorted, but some places (And I'm not saying that "Bass Junkiez" is one of them) will have to sent the item back to the factory to get it repaired and more often than not you have to pay for the carriage to get it there and back at least.

So you would rather pay double the price then!! if that was the case then customers would complain to magazines for allowing the shops to advertise and the magazines would stop allowing them to advertise!

yes but theres halford stores all over the country so if u cant find 1 2 take it back 2. There quicker with there replacements they send it away and take responcibilty 4 it or just straight swap it there and then in the store
