Wayne, I run Clarion as my source unit but to be honest, Alpine is actually better. They've not bought out an all in one unit yet, but its tipped to be the best one of the lot with loads of features.

sony may look good but how long do you spend looking at your system compared to listening to it. yeah the sony one looks beter but i wouldn't bother with sony. alpine are the mutts nuts

CLARION

i just got the tv/dvd/cd player for a gud price. hopefully have it fitted today.

i also got the old top of the range claion for sell for less than that. but u need to have the speakers amped up

To be honest mate, u should get alpine, they are same price as dolphin pioneer unit but have spent more money on quality internal components, so less likely to go wrong.

most peeps on here will say, JL all the way! the subs are good, i havent seen or tried a h/u, anywayz from personal experience i would go for pioneer, thats all i know, but i never had any probs wit them!!!!!

also which JL sub should i go 4!as u can tell i dont know much bout ICE!

so kenwood is the pest playr 2 go 4?lookin round about £200!can u recommend any?

sony headunits from my experience are cr4p, the amps fry and the sound quality is pap, i paid the same amount for a kenwood one £185 from one of these mag places and its far superior

Check out www.mcs-direct.co.uk for a better price - £185!

Or Ebay

I have the MD version - MDX690 and am pretty impressed with it.

Aim for JL subs if u can as they are really good, and 12" is a decent size for low bass lines.

Hope this helps

im bout ready 2 upgrade 2 cd player is this gud one 2 go for, Sony CDX-M630!£219 on caraudiodirect.com!wot do yas think,aslo need sum subs etc, nedd sum advice PLEASE!
