Question good ICE suppliers - online or high street?

Hi,

Can anyone recommend a good ICE supplier (or warn me away from bad ones!)?

I've had a quick look at the following, but would like to hear who's good, and who you wouldn't touch with a stick.

http://caraudiosecurity.com

http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk

http://www.mcs-direct.co.uk/index.html

This'll be my first foray into upgrading stereo equipment in a car, so I'm not after anything flash; just a decent head unit and some uprated speakers (car's a classic saloon).

Fancy the look of this head unit, http://www.mcs-direct.co.uk/acatalog/info%5f1958%2ehtml but not yet sure about speakers.

Cheers,
Steve

That's all good stuff, thanks guys.

I guess I should have said I usually shuttle between Reading and Worcester (for the 'high street' ones), but no reason why I can't pick up a phone!

Any more for or against?

Cheers,
Steve

I've used hiwayhifi and found them to be very reasonable and a good service
