Well, it looks like that time. I need to find a really nice set of 4x6 speakers for my little guy. I was reading that the Infinity Kappa series 4x6 is rated one of the best. They can be run from the HeadUnit, but may need a small amp to really push them. That means I would probably need to install it in the front and run the wires. I just dont want to wear down the battery with my music. I plan on getting one of the newer series Alpine's that play MP3's.

Any suggestions or experience with these?

Buy a cheaper head with an aux input and buy an iPod. Why? User interface. I've never seen a head that had a GOOD user interface for selecting MP3 songs.

To me, head units are all about aesthetics. All the power out of head units pretty much sucks, especially in a 914 where you really have to crank it just to hear it. You just buy one that you really like the look of.

That's what I did although I haven't gotten a chance to use it yet. I'm a sucker for Blaupunkt, especially because they have the aux in on most all their units (needs an adaptor though).



Kind of an embarrasing picture, the dash has since gotten the 3 years of grime scrubbed off, and the carpet and new door panels are back in place. I'll have to post up a pic when I get back home. But that's what the Blau looks like, I like it even if it isn't as simple and business like as they used to be. the little adaptor drapes down in the back and I was planning on fabbing up some mount so the ipod can attach to the center console.
