Hey people, my 18th is approaching very quickly and mods will need to be put into action before i get my P's. Im now looking at getting me headunit and system. Ive been told a decent system will set my back about $1500 (subs,amps,speakers,headunit and wires)
I have a EL, what headunits and other sound equipment do you's use and recermend? Thanks Guys Paul |

I used to have pioneer headunit... which lasted me a very very long time. but recently just upgraded to alpine 9851 swingface headunit. sound is exceptional and looks flashy too.. got a cadence Z4000 amp and 2 12" pioneer subs. some crappy 6" 3 ways out the back. Altogether the boxed subs and cadence amp set me back about 1k back then and the headunit around 300ish.. Hope that helps.

Down at JB-Hi Fi at Knox theres a Pioneer 6-series MP3 deck for $364. Usually retails for about $660 or so. my mate got one on sunday.
Could be a good start for ya.

Problem with ebay is you quite often get Asian/US/Euro versions of the Headunits... These arent covered by Warrenty in aus and usually won't play our radio stations.
Ive got a Pioneer DEH-6750MP and its great... I think that is the one that JB have got $364 atm |

I run all Alpine. I love there gear!
Go to an audio shop like Freeway car audio in Dandenong. Listen to the stuff they have. IMO don't bother with Strathfield or JB (or Supercr@p)

Dont get decks of Ebay as Perana XR8 said as there isnt a Pioneer/Clarion,etc warrenty when it is purchased off ebay and tend to be designed for a different frequency radio yet two have been installed at work and have both worked fine.
