order a new head unit with MP3 and a set of infinity 6000cs for my scoob, and fit them, without the wife finding out

C'mon, you guys must have been down this road.

tell the wife but not the TRUE cost

i.e. was a bargain u couldnt turn down - all second hand of course

Just tell her. Sell things on ebay to get into her good books first tho.

Turn the stereo up in the scoob and force her to listen to it distorting.

Si.t

nice one! so many options... speakers are easy, cos you could spend £40 and she wouldn't know the difference.

Head unit - a bit harder.

1 tell her halfords staff are stupid and scanned in you recent purchase as a simpsons air freshener for 4.99
2 it was a lucky catch from a fast moving high sided lorry looking vehicle...
3 tell her the more lights it has the more it costs, then buy a 6 disc nakamichi cd head unit
4 tell her the less lights it has the more expensive it is - then buy the clarion or alpine dvd flip screen tv head unit (don't think she'll buy that one TBH)
5 just own up to what ever she thinks is acceptable and keep shtum about the actual cost...

My missus must think my sense of direction around Leeds is phenomenal (I just make sure she dosen't press the AV button on the clarion....)

my missus was quite surprised at me getting one of the new Pioneer DVD screens - AVH-6500DVD for only £550 rrp is somewhere near £1,500 - but i paid a little over trade (close to £1,000)

Get it fitted when she's out on a girly trip somewhere. If she questions it, say "it's always been like that, dear" in a bemused voice. I know some women who'd fall for it

Edit to add - you can at least fit it all at once, and never own up to the speakers, cos she'll never see them. Just claim the improvements are all down to the head unit.

1. complain of stereo being knackered.
2. tell her you're going to see the dealer about it.
3. replace head unit.
4. tell her that due to so many complaints about head unit, your new one is now the standard fitment.

jobs a good'n

Thanks for all the useful replies guys but yesterday she went shopping to Monsoon and bought a cardigan for £75 so I think if she says anything about my ICE spending she ain't got a leg to stand on.
