Right, I'm putting together the bits required for my install.

I've just ordered some Focal 165A's (129.99 from mobiletoys if anyone's interested) and have some spacers on order from Buster.

Have to decide on a headunit now, soooo, does anyone have any recomendations, kinda like the look of the new JVC ones. I had a pioneer with the OEL dispaly in my old car, and it was good but want to move away from them and try something new.

Any new Sony's on the horizon I should wait for?

Also, should i get an amp to drive the focals or tailor the head unit so it can drivce them (internal amp). Sorry for all the questions   s:oops: :oops: s:oops:

pretty much anything these days has a removable face.

Kenwood MASK, and teh new JVC Chameleon are in my books teh best stealth looking ones. leave it in place.

Are MP3 a requirement?

Not really fussed about MP3, just want something that will sound good a look tidy.

ultimate sound quality look at Nakmichi

with a slightly more realistic price tag,

Alpine,
Pioneer
Kenwood

preferably Apline of teh 3

beware certain models have no inbuilt Amps.

when you narrow it down to a particular model or 2 we can comment specifically.

This looks to be the best price that I can find; do you know anywhere cheaper Buster  s:?: :?: s:?:  I'm looking at HU's at the moment so would also like to pose the question of which MP3 CD head would be worth considering now that I'm getting one of the GB subs  s:?: :?: s:?:
