Tips:

Dont go to halfords = overpriced and generaly crap gear

Dont get 6x9's = ask Snowy... waste of time

Avoide Vibe = Go for Alpine / Kenwood / Rockford gear, quality

Now now no arguing..

So corb it's not worth getting the sony stuff???
It seemed like a really good deal..

I'm not buying till April so plenty time to look for good stuff. Wasn't wanting to spend
a load of cash..Not worried about being extremly load either. Just want a quality sound thats
better than just the 4 speakers...

What decent pioneer stuff is there out there at a decent price...?

Hey matey

Good choice with the JVC head unit man. I had a JVC in my previous car (not the latest model - like a 00 or 01 model - flip-down cd, colour screen, remote, BBE, 4x40W, dual gold pre-outs). They're awesome units. Not a real competition unit, but a good upgrade, general use/showy unit. Look absolutely great, that's one of the best things about them! No problems either (not in my experience).
