Hey bud,

You cant really go wrong along the lines of Alpine, Clarion or Pioneer so might be worth just having a look about to see which suits your style.

i can recommend you take a look at this site tho as they are really good on the pricing

Cheers

I can comment on that headunit Phil, I have one in my room. Just waiting until I get the rest of the gear for it to go in.

Looks great, is easy to use (the middle knob/button controls just about all you'd need it to) it's switchable between 40w and 60w and comes with a remote :lol:

It would compliment the blue on the dash a treat, but as Randall says Car Audio Direct is the place to go 8)

I really want it, but dont know if i can justify £200 for a headunit... ice really isnt important to me. Just trying to think of anything else id like before i buy one.

It was £280 when I bought it, I then went on to spend another £300-£400 on audio which is all now in my bedroom :lol:

If you do go for it, you'll like it.

I've just checked and it's no longer on www.Caraudiodirect.co.uk but if you e-mailed them they may be able to help you.
