Average Sound System

Kuhan · 5 Aug 2007 at 00:06

Well currently have a MG ZR the sound system isn't so great, well since i have never tampered with the sound before i was wondering what i would need, i have around a budget of 300 pound can push to 400 if needed. i have had a look around but am not 100% sure on what is needed. Any advice is helpful

Thanks

On that budget, I would go for a decent head unit, pioneer are highly rated.

Got a kenwood about 4 year ago myself and plays everything been in four cars now, and in a crash where the faceplate got thrown into the boot of the car, yet it still works as good as brand new

A decent set of component speakers, yet again I went with Kenwood ones, same again still work great.

Mines all together came to about 200, altough I'm planning on upgrading them on the next car.

O and you will need to check the biggest size of speakers you can fit in behind the door cards, bigger the better!

Next don?

Anyway, I spent £500 on my sound system for my first car, Alpine headunit, alpine speakers, Amp that fell off of a lorry and a sub and box off ebay.

Sounded SUPERB!!! still got the speakers, undecided whether to fit them in my current car or not :confused:

what speaker size can you have?

how about this?

Pioneer DEH-P6900IB iPod Control £165
http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/pio...7.html?cadid=38167990f1946deb3ac0a583107e9d89

Amp - JBL 75.4 £99
http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/jbl-gto754-p-4140.html?cadid=38167990f1946deb3ac0a583107e9d89

Infinity Reference 6510cs £80
http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/inf...0.html?cadid=38167990f1946deb3ac0a583107e9d89

Infinity Reference 1050W £50
http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/inf...1.html?cadid=38167990f1946deb3ac0a583107e9d89

12" version of the sub is £20 more.

Total £394

You'll be a little over by the time you've added cable and a sub box (you could try making a sub box?)

will be a reasonable little system there.
