Lynsey Posted August 25, 2003 Report Share Posted August 25, 2003 I've been dithering and doing around for the past few weeks over which stereo to buy for my Lupo.After numerous trips to various stereo/audio shops, everytime I've come home empty handed style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" /> What headunits or stereo `set-ups` have people got or what does anyone recommend, as me being a typical girl I can't make decisions :sarc: style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> `Short-listed` was Sony or Pioneer but if I'm convinced then other brands will be considered ??? (Bearing in mind the red/blue display in the lupo)One person, who will go `un-named` (*cough cough* Robin!) told me I'm not allowed Pioneer simply coz Pioneer is too good for a cr*p car :sarc: not that I listened to that!So suggestions please........... style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Posted August 25, 2003 Report Share Posted August 25, 2003 There both good.........but i'd have to go with Alpine. Dont ever buy a sony, they are crap. I bought the kenwood one cos that had the blue screen and red buttons for volkswagen. However, the screen stopped working yesterday so that needs to go back. I think my next head unit will be Alpine.

Andy_Would like a Lupo Gt Posted August 26, 2003 Report Share Posted August 26, 2003 I know precisely ****** all about stereo's, but I've always thought Alpines looked like the worst designed, really really ugly. Which is nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusoe Posted August 26, 2003 Report Share Posted August 26, 2003 Alpine always seem to get a good review for the sounds, and usually at a good price thoug I'd have to agree with Andy on the looks, ugly with a poor layout of cheap feeling rubbery buttons but probably the best sound quality for the price ???

Alan VW Posted August 26, 2003 Report Share Posted August 26, 2003 my buttons feel far from rubbery ! ok if Apline r ***** looking and prob wouldnt buy one unless your were drunk.lets see what ye say about this headunit !! - ill only laff if some says its *****, cos ye know ****** all about what ice to buy ! border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" />Nakamichi `CD-700` Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusoe Posted August 26, 2003 Report Share Posted August 26, 2003 Looks ***** but could guess at the price style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> had a full twin amp 12 speaker Boss setup in my last car so know it's not all about looks, rather spend it on my home system, acoustics in the car aren't going to be great.
