Pete91 Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 Tbh mate you'd be best reading this stuff yourself. If you can't be arsed then use this and just buy what you can afford. I would recommend anything alpine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

audiocandy Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 (edited) Try to stick to brands like JL Audio ,Hertz and Alpine even if on budget as you get a true RMS output figures and better clarity you cant go wrong with them ,,mix and match speaker setups is fine ,,Alpine amps and Hetz speakers are all ways a win win for me Edited January 17, 2013 by audiocandy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupermanDan01 Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Dont forget to replace your door speakers, they make SUCH a big difference! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skezza Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 (edited) Basically, I'd say buy a new head unit (if the current one fitted is OEM) and a new set of door speakers and you'll notice a million times difference. The original head units are pretty average although mine always got better radio reception than any AM unit i've fitted. If you fancy single DIN, I suggest Alpine as they're quite smart. Double? I'd suggest Kenwood as they look similarly smart whereas I find Alpine double din very garish. Sound quality, there's very little difference between the big boys, they're all good, Kenwood, Pioneer, Alpine are all the dogs and to be honest, I think Sony are fast catching up, they certainly aren't bad, although I haven't tested enough stereos.If you do want your car as an actual car that you can use for everything from picking up friends to doing the shopping I suggest not going all Barry boy with it. I need to be careful what I say here because I'll get jumped on by those who disagree, but seriously, if you want your Lupo like a normal every day car you really only need to change your front door speakers and head unit. If you desperately want sound coming from the back, a set of decent parcel shelf speakers wouldn't hurt. I don't recommend a sub, at least right now, I still don't get it.
