exactly, if you buy a £1000 alpine is still going to sound crap through your standard speakers.
you need larger speakers in custom mounts and the doors dynamatted at the very least on an impreza.
agreed
a decent stereo needs a good set of speakers for it to sound clear and sharp.
I have a alpine dvd face off stereo with the iphone dock in my glove box
also alpine door speakers and tweeters and alpine 6x9's with a alpine amp and vibe sub in a enclosure and it sounds amazing.
minimal I would say a set of 6x9's to accompany a the alpine stereo
You can skip the songs and all that off the stereo if that's what u mean, and u can plug it in to charge if u want to do it that way, it's cheap and cheerful but it does the job

alpine are known for great sq, one of the best 'normal' brands, nakamichi is one of the best overall
kenwood are very average sq (yes i do know from experience), alpine sound loads better than kenwood (in the same install)
Interesting, best unit I've ever run was the Nak cd45z which I changed for a pioneer unit with DEQ sound control add on unit When the cd drive gave up for the 4th time! That was a good input into the amped system on the car, after that I've run a selection of Kenwoods all into JL and CDT setups before adding one of the Alpine media units which was crap, lovely interface but rubbish sound q.
The real deal however, with sound q will always be the speakers and the amp that drives them, I've scaled down my ICE to a set of CDT front components (6.5') and JL Audio sub (12') the sub is temporary until I make a custom stealth box to hold a8' in the rear quarter panel. All are powered by a JL 4500 amp, take a look at my speaker install page (ok its a forester but I did my bugeye the same way) for how to properly fit a set of front speakers (ok the tweeter could be dash mounted but as I mentioned if the soundstage is to low I can always fit the imaging tweeters on the dash). Do not fit 6 by 9s to the rear shelf as this is a sure fire way to reduce sound q (most people equate volume to quality!).
cheap but good lol
