Just decided to upgrade me sound system since I am such a music enthusiast...
System consists of:

* Pioneer Avix X1-R Flip Screen DVD/NAVIGATION Headunit with Ipod interface

* JBL 300w Amplifier attached to rear seat in boot with 10inch Sub Woofer in Boot

* Soundstream 300w Amplifier attached to rear seat in boot with Infinaty Kappa front Speakers and Components with crossovers

... What do you think?
Should sound great... Rather expensive though!

what makes you lean towards the Pioneer?

I'm looking for a GPS and video head unit and am finding it hard as there's so much out there. I've had a look at the Pioneer but I don't like the idea of having to keep inserting the disk everytime I want to put a new route in. Was looking at the Kenwoodd 627 with the kenwood/garming sat nav. Works out a little cheaper than the pioneer. Having said that I havn't physically had any experience with either so if you have I'd appriciate your thoughts on the matter

BRG-Mini-One · Nov 13th, 2006, 07:31 PM

Well for me, I tested both and the pioneer was best!

... Much less tacky!

Blusox · Nov 14th, 2006, 09:11 AM

Thanks, I think I'll try and find somewhere were I can get my hands on both. Don't fancy the idea of some thing tacky in my mini!!

It just gives off a faint blue light which reflects off everything at night! lol

Nice install, i went a little bit crazy with mine

Alpine 9835R head unit
Alpine Type R 13cm front speakers w/ matching tweeters
Alpine Type R 6 x 9 in back door
2 Alpine Type R 12" Subs (Wot a squeeze!)
Alpine V12 mono amp
Alpine V12 4 channel amp
1 farad power cap

Sounds like a touch of class

Ur right! It is very loud, im would guess im getting about 1100w out of each sub so times that by 2 lol just ordered an r56 but i cant put the system in because of the head unit situation

I reckon they did that purposely with the headunit thing as then they make a fortune out of selling the hi-fi upgrade option. Scam.

If your stuff is ever for sale, I would be very interested!

marx87 · Dec 7th, 2006, 09:34 AM

I got some thinking to do then

How does that work... Does your sound system not consist of a custom boot build?
