Headunit & speaker recommendations
 
Hi chaps.

Time to hit the Scooby knowledgebase for info.

It's been a few years since I’ve had to purchase the above, and would like some advise.

I'd like a HU which has:

MP3 playback - which can transverse folders / directories
Reasonable output - 40-60W per chan (I have a wagon so there isn't a good place for a amp / sub)

Speakers (2 pairs):

Suitable for above - which doesn't require too much in the way of modification.

I listen to pretty much everything - Rock, Soul, Dance / trance etc etc so must be suitable for mixed playback.

I've a budget of about £300 > £350 all in.

Any suggestions?

/edit OMG just seen the prices of DAB radios. .

I've got a wagon, and have just installed an amp under my seat. It went in a treat and leaves the practicality in tact. I've also got a Pioneer combined 8'' sub and amp under the passenger seat. I realise that this is hardly likely to please someone after serious bass, it tmproves things considerably in my opinion.

that sounds like a good setup.

do you have a linky to the sub?

Are you still able to move the seats about ok?

You've got a ready made amp rack in the wagon under the boot floor/above the spare wheel!

Head unit - anything really. Recommend spending 300 quid of your budget on that. 150 quid will get you a nice set of front components including fitting bits (adaptors and dynamat) etc.

If you want DAB, blaupunkt do some great value integrated units...

Oh, and if it's a new shape wagon, I've got a box for a 12" sub that you might want a look at?

I'm pretty pleased with it to be honest.

Seats still move around with no problems.
