Hi i have a rather pathetic 106 mardi gras, it currently has the standard cassette radio, i would like to upgrade my whole audio system, i have no alarm on this car therefore do not particually want to spend loads of $$$$$ on hardware, i think i should just relace the head unit and front speakers (13cm if im correct). i am open to opinions on a suitable setup and also would be happy to recieve advice on what items to purchase (head unit MUST have CD-r, CD-rw, RDS and MP3). is there any way of conecting a small sub under a passenger seat or somthing without needing a amp? I am confused about front speakers and tweeters in particular :S. any help would be deeply appriciated, Craig
That's what, 5 and 1/4 inches? You could do quite a bit with that...primarily buy a component set of speakers, Infinity would be a good way to go as Erik has mentioned before.
For a headunit, check out Alpine, Clarion ProAudio, or Pioneer.
You could get a pre-built, powered sub for under your seat. Check out Clarion's SRV303 and Infinity's BassLink.
i live in england mate, with the powered sub u recomend where do u recomend this to be installed in the car? is there any good budget powered subs, im a little short on cash as i am a student.
If you can fit it under the passenger seat like you were saying before, that would be a great spot. You can look for it used on Ebay and save a great deal of money compared to buying it new.
good thinkin, i dont think i can fit anything under my seat tho, so i think it will have to go in the boot, will a good car setup only have 6/9's in the parcel shelf?
