dont get sony they last ages but sounds better from others pioneer break try and ge kenwood or alpine dont go to halfords (i work there too expensive)have a look in back of max power and see what they got i had a kenwood 7080 last year smodel which wasgood very good but you might be able to pick the 8080 up now for about 200 as its last years it has system e's etc..its very good or try and get a nice alpine cant go wrong with either really

yes halfords are shite, i had a mate who brought a sony head unit from there, was way overy priced and when it broke they really mucked him about with gettin it fixed etc, so never go there, id rather go to argos, LOL

Pioneer break?????? I have had loads of Pioneer headunits and only one has broken and that was because I wired up some speakers wrongly!! and blew the internal amp. Pioneer have really good sound and loads of features.

Mmmmm forbidden donut. :)

right sony are the mutts nuts but i belive top end kenny stuff is very good as are any alpine! if halfords hvae one in stock you can get a price match and heve yer headunit there and then rahter than wait a day or two.

as for 6x9's i personally recomend infinity reference 300W ones. they are ?79.99 for halfords (with the rigt persuastion ;) ) but most sony and krnwood ones are very very good too. DONT BUY JBL stuff it seems ok but its really pants lol

i must agree my m8 has jbl 5" door speakers and 6x9's and the sound like sumone had a dump in them and then put the grille back over them

Bloody infinity.. :) TOO SMOOTH!!!!!!

Kenwood is probs my fave choice.. the latest models are well featured, plenty powerful, very nice sound quality etc

Sonys are v. nice too apart from 1 thing. 4x50w? FUCK OFF! Where does the power go? Cuz they're not loud @ all! :)

Cheers people. just sin the new sony cdx L550 for about 180 quid. think i will go for that, not to sure about speakers yet though. I want some 6*9's (already got an MDF shelf) and a set of front components.
