A head unit is only as good as your speakers and amp.... I have an alpine head with alpine amp and components but opted for kenwood 6x9's - a fairly cheap but audible setup

I found that the kenwood speakers were good value for money too and your right your head unit can cost the earth but if your speakers and amp are pants well your stereo will sound like a std unit in an Escort 1.3 with the sound turned up as loud as it will go and the speakers saying please stop...! please stop the pain....!

Scotty,

you'd probably get a better response from the ICE forum

I would honestly go to Halfrauds and HEAR some head units.

Everybody on here will recommend XYZ, because that's what THEY like or have. Nowt wrong with that, but everybody's different

I personally prefer Pioneer, but I've got a Sony H/Unit with Infinity speakers. I'm not overly impressed with the Infinitys TBH. I'm used to good speakers (due to my job ), but these didn't set me on fire.

However, YOU might love em

Get yourself to an ICE shop

Dan
