OK,
I have worked out what needs to be dismantled in the car and what the speaker sizes are.

Now all I need to know is what to buy.

What setup have you guys/gals got?

Cheers
Chris.

Kenwood MP3 z828 headunit which is fantastic.

Got a home-built sub in the boot with a 1000W Kenwood 10" speaker (for deep bass) and a Sony Xplod 8" (for mid and high bass) and a cheapy 640W amp from Maplins. Pics: http://comevisit.me.uk/gallery/view_alb ... box&page=5 The system does sound fairly good at the moment, but have got the following long-term plans:

1. Replace front speakers with Kenwood components
2. Replace back speakers with Kenwood Dualmags (if they'll fit!)
3. Experiment with a ported sub box rather than sealed for better sound
4. Get a decent amp - possibly Vibe VP2 as they're cheap at the moment!

Alex,

Does the KDC-PSW9521 work with the stalk and display?

Hi Guys

Are the standard stereos actually any good?
I know mine sounds naff when turned up slighty but is it the stereo at fault or the poor quality speakers.
Any ideas what i can do to improve it without too much hassle. I cant put anything in my boot as i always have my boot full of shopping or stuff for work!

Help!!

Luv Lucy

The speakers are pretty poor so changing them would make a difference, but not a huge amount because the speaker enclosures aren't great.

Replacing the headunit would probably give you the best change in quality, although a decent sub in the boot makes the sound soooo much better because you can let the rest of the speakers give out the higher frequencies. You don't have to install a huge boot-hogging amp & sub - some companies do subs that fit nicely to the edge so not taking up too much room.

Thanks for your advice.
Will have to look into costs then.
Do you fancy fitting all for me.....lol
