dinkus 10 Posted August 13, 2004 As I've currently got the el-crappo cassette VW HU in my C I want to get a new one. My plan is to use a portable MP3 player (mmm 60Gb) and hook it into the HU via the line out. Any suggestions on what to get? I want a nice sounding unit, but it doesn't need anythign any more fancy than plain old CD playback. That Pioneer DEH P77MP one does look rather tasty, even if it is another £70 over what I was planning on spending. It's also not a good sign that the HU in there currently sounds like a tinny poop. I'm hoping it's just because it's wired up badly, otherwise it's gonna be new speakers time (mmm Infinities). Damn you all and your nice ICE systems, now I have to play too.

I am told the best on board amps are the Blaupunkt stuff... That Panasonic is about £350. All internal amps are pretty poor to be honest, given the lack of space and heat they generate. The best amps I've heard so far are the MOSFET high-current jobbies in the Pioneers and Alpine's V-drive. The old BluePoint stereos are OK but not particularly nice to look at, good internals tho. I'm trying to find a Pioneer P9 at the moment that's less than £859 and it's accompanying £459 DEQ9 offboard EQ/DAC!!. It's a drive unit only, no amp. I want, but can't afford :cry: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
B5VWC 0 Posted August 13, 2004 Like kevhaywire says internal amps mean nothing... Get an Amplifier or 2, Components and a 10inch Sub (i got JBL GT0 400w rms) then you will have a good setup Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For people with amps it's just excess baggage taking up valuable space that processors and higher quality components could be using :? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
