Hi folks,

Looking to upgrade my headunit and speakers but dont want to use any amps....

Any suggestions of the best combos....????

Tweeters as well.....

 

If the headunit is upgraded can you still keep the dash controls..??

 

Read the sticky FAQ at the top of the forum.

One way to use the controls on the dash:

Cheers for that.....

 

Best advice is t go for one of the higher end models from either Alpine or Pioneer, these usually come with reasonable amplification.

I only really know Alpines, so either 9884, 9886 or 9887 would be best from them, or one of the iPod iDA models (probably the iDA X305)

There's a multitude of speakers, but Alpine, Infinity, Focal and MB quarts get a lot of recommendations.

Other dash control interfaces include:

Cheers for that Lovegroova....

Decided to go for an alpine headunit but am still undecided about the speakers...Only problem i have is which alpine hu to go for....

 

Do you want to use an iPod with the HU?
Or perhaps a USB stick,
or are you happy using MP3 CDs,
or do you want the sound quality of a proper CD?

Do you want to connect a phone using Bluetooth?

Anything else you need it to do?

 

Do you want to use an iPod with the HU? Yes
Or perhaps a USB stick, No
or are you happy using MP3 CDs, No
or do you want the sound quality of a proper CD? If possible

Do you want to connect a phone using Bluetooth? Have a car kit but if its better through the hu then yes

Anything else you need it to do?Display track names of ipod

Hope that kind of helps....

 

The Alpine 9886 sounds like a good fit for you. I have one and like it a lot!

9886 looks a good call to me. Or perhaps the CDE-104BTi which is bluetooth equipped http://www.alpine-electronics.co.uk/produc...cde-104bti.html
