Check out www.mcs-direct.co.uk for a better price - £185!
Or Ebay
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3009376369&category=3293
I have the MD version - MDX690 and am pretty impressed with it.
Aim for JL subs if u can as they are really good, and 12" is a decent size for low bass lines.
Hope this helps

To be honest mate, u should get alpine, they are same price as dolphin pioneer unit but have spent more money on quality internal components, so less likely to go wrong.

Wayne, I run Clarion as my source unit but to be honest, Alpine is actually better. They've not bought out an all in one unit yet, but its tipped to be the best one of the lot with loads of features.
