hello all my ICE experts

ScoobyDoo69 · 30 Jan 2006 at 19:36

ok, let me start with an apology for my last ICE thread... I'm sorry for not taking your advise

Anywho had a bit of a play yesterday and moved the components to the front... MUCH better of course, however theyre not that great! Not enough volume in the back... well not much at all, the sub seems to be a bit happier now those speakers arent on the shelf, seems much louder!

So i need to be recommended some pretty good front components please.
Able to handle say 100wRMS down to about 63hz?? Good quality, anything up to around £200, is that sufficient?
As they're going in a scooby, they can't be too deep either, preferably 6.5" speakers, cheers

If you don't mind using ebay and waiting a little there are some amazing bargins from a seller on there.

This guy: http://stores.ebay.co.uk/ProCarSound-C0M_Speakers_W0QQcolZ4QQdirZ1Q***idZ2QQtZkm

He sells Polk mm6's for £150 all in!! There quality speakers and will cost you a bomb if you buy them here, just to prove that point caraudiosecurity which are do very good prices on speakers sell these for £330!! http://caraudiosecurity.com/shop/product/products_id/3076.html

If you want to spend a little more the guy does diamond at unbelieveable prices as well.

ScoobyDoo69 if you do buy from that ebay person could you post us some pics and comment on those speakers, as I am interested in those too at that price. Thanks

ScoobyDoo69 · 30 Jan 2006 at 21:46

O i will do, I'm just browsing at the moment and will be saving some money to get a nice amp for them too

Vanilla · 30 Jan 2006 at 22:01

What amp is powering the fronts?

ScoobyDoo69 · 30 Jan 2006 at 22:06

currently a poo 4x55W rms per channel kicker amp, but that'll be changed for a nice 4x100rms amp at some stage, speakers first tbh..

35 quid carriage :eek:

add that to the £120 price , then vat and carriers handling charges and you are looking at around 200 quid

The DVD player will be Region 1 and the radio won't have the correct stepping so you won't be able to tune into a lot of stations.

Still a bargain?

Morba · 31 Jan 2006 at 14:02

thankfully neither of those would matter, i wouldnt want to watch a dvd on a screen that small and i wouldnt be listening to the radio.
it would sit pretty as a 2nd HU just for dvd's full of mp3's

surely you could change the region should you want to play dvd's?

from auction said:
DVD-R/-RW/VCD Compatible (Region 1 and ALL Region DVDs Only)

would be worth asking tho before buying :]

eidolon · 31 Jan 2006 at 15:16

I've got that HU and it doesn't mention that you can change the region anywhere in the manual, it specifically says Region 2 only. The screen is actually ok for watching movies. I also have a 7" flip out screen but I've just sold it as I didn't really use it, preferring to just use the inbuilt screen.
