I'm looking into buying a stereo for my car for xmas.
My budget is around £100, any suggestions?

Not a fan of JVC tbh.

this is the one i have lee - bought it from amazon for £105 plus p+p but since buying it it has come down a bit in price. Really good sound quality and so easy to install into a corsa b - took my girlfriends step dad bout 10mins to do - he loves it too and is considering getting one for his lexus IS200. Worth a look!

Thanks geebs, definately on the possible list.

 

[corsaJ]

Yeah thats a good price for that, naa im not a JVC fan but all i could see just having a quick browse for you.

 

[Steve]

yea good thing about amazon is you can choose express delivery which costs a bit more but you will get it the next day - they are really quick.

I'll have a look around net - i know what its like trying to find a headunit - theres so many out there

 

[Steve]

I really like the look of that panasonic one.

 

[Steve]

yea i was gonna go for this panaonic but was a bit out of my price range by the time you've added the postage and wanted to spend my money on other things aswell as a headunit. Supposedly there really good tho.

JVC is cheap ****. You need something a bit better for £100.

Here's some links for you to look at. Better than JVC & Panasonic - too cheap. Go for something like Pioneer:

Thanks Lyds, looking at them now.

 

[LAD VXL]

There not actually, i think you will find they are quite good, ever owned one??? Sony are sh*t hands down

Here is what i think Lee

Pioneer DEH-P4800MP
http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/pioneer-dehp4800mp-p-4674.html[/URL

Good Qaulity make with a good spec for sub £90

CD-R Playback
MP3 File Playback
Windows Media™ Audio Playback
CD-RW Playback
WAV File Playback
Max. output power (watts) MOSFET 4 x 50 Watt
RCA Preout 2 (F + R or S/W)

Pretty impressive spec for a budget player

On the other end is this Clarion at the very max of you budget but would be worth it.

Clarion DXZ 468RMP
http://www.caraudiocentre.co.uk/product.asp?product=22137

Again another good make, this one is a bit more fancy, with the dot screen and screensavers etc, the spec very similar to the Pioneer

Last one

In Phase IPS 925MP
http://www.caraudiocentre.co.uk/product.asp?product=21286

Another trusted good quality make, the specs for this are very good, you will struggle to find this in a player double its value!! Still pretty fancy aswell, motorised dot matirx screen.

60W x 4 High Power Amplifier
4V RCA
Motorised slide down detachable panel
Multi-colour Dot-matrix LCD display

Hope this helps you, they are all good headunits, Its just what you fancy and what you want to pay.

I've heard a JVC headunit, they're okay - but that's as far as I would go with them. Sony are fine - what are you on about? I have a Sony MD Player in my car & love it. I was just saying to Lee, why go for the cheaper low quality headunits when you can go for a better make with a better reputation. At the end of the day it's up to him what he chooses. It's not about the look of the stereo either. Although it does add to the whole thing. Specs are the most important.

Clutch, I'm absolutely clueless with ICE. I've never heard of In-Phase. Are they really any good?
