My Dad has given me £500 to spend on unpgrading the standard audio system on his Renault Megane Sport 225!!

He wants:

A headunit (flip-up, dvd, etc, anything youd recommend)
Front Speakers
Rear Speaker
I-pod Connection (which cost £80)

So basically got £420 for a head unit, and front and rear speakers!

What would you recommend!!

Any links, photos, etc more than welcome!!

Cheers

Very true, but for the price the ripspeed H/U is excelleant, couple of mates have them and i am amazed, can connect up to (2 i think) more screens, a cam, and has rca outputs for amps, pic quality aint too bad either (for the price again)
just connect the handbrake cable (blue i think) straight to ground so u can have screen on while driving (if u want to that is)

noooooo, its not essential to have a flip up screen, lol!! just recommend me a good cool head unit (needs cd changer output), some good components for the front, and some good speakers for the rear!!



i was thinking the Sony CDX M8800 Head Unit and some Alpine speakers front and rear!??



Hows that sound!??



Also considering the JVC AVX1 or AVX2
