Audio

[chris1989]

Hi, im new to the forum and would like some advice on audio. I would like to upgrade the soundsystem in my corsa and do not know where to start. I would like a system that sound good but with hopefully not with huge expense. What would you reccomend doing first , head unit, new components in the front, 6x9, sub?
Any advice, or recomendations would be greatly appreciated.

If you have neough put buy, get it all done in one go

My advice would be to get a decent head unit, then the components, save up for decent amp/s and sub/s

agreed get a decent headunit first

[chris1989]

ok, would this improve the proformance or the sound, or just enable me to add an amp, sub and other speakers. What head unit would you suggest, i like the look of the ones with the fold out screens. I was looking to spend around £150 on a standard one, maybe more if it had a screen. If i was to get a standard hu what speaker/amp would you suggest to get with it?

Judging by their internet homepage (http://www.venturer.com/) and it's lack of useful information of the product I'm thinking they don't want your money, let alone earn it.

http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/alpine-cde9850ri-ipod-full-speed-p-4679.html It has iPod functionality as well if that floats your boat.
http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/kenwood-kdcw6537u-pack-p-5827.html Has USB support if you prefer music off of a different kind of MP3 player or storage device.
http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/alpine-cde9881rb-p-5680.html This is from the 2007 Alpine range and is astheticallly better looking IMO.

What's you budget for the rest of the system then, if you don't mind me asking?

[chris1989]

i like the look of the 2007 alpine hu, and would buy the ipod connector for it aswell. If i was to purchase tis Hu what would you reccomend to buy next, components? if so could you reccoment any.
