Thinking head unit (prefrably with adapter to let the steering controls work)

Plus door speakers.


Cant be bothered with subs or amps. Just want something quick and easy. USB/iPod connections would be nice though.

Budget?

RichwiththeS2000

~£300 all in, realistically

Ideally, you want to get some MY02+ doorcards so you can fit components instead of the coaxials usually fitted to an 01 car.

Coaxial speakers: http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/alpine-spr-17c.html £100
or Component speakers http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/alpi...low-mount.html £95

Head unit: take your pick of these http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/head...96637291cb7525

Dash controls: http://www.lowcostcaraudio.co.uk/lcca/mia/pid/7352203 £14 plus http://www.lowcostcaraudio.co.uk/lcca/mia/pid/7670742 £3

Spot on - thanks for that

I take it I need a generic honda ISO-Adapter from Halfrauds as well?

lovegroova

No, the £14 adapter does all that for you.

Oooh, sweet

It's really worth doing the doorcard change if you can though as it makes a big difference to sound quality.

Tough choice, I would opt for an mp3 head unit or one that reads USB. You want the highest power you can get : 50W or so.

I wouldn't recommend the Alpines, they really are quite bass light. I would recommend JBL GTO's or Infinity Reference. You may need to have spacers, but most speakers come with spacers.

Get some components, and place the tweeters near the a-pillar, I had mine mounted in the a-pillar. They do raise the sound out of the foot wells.

Does componants just mean you can run a tweeter as well? or is there some different with the cable types? Changing the door cards would be a bit of a faff I guess... humm
