[raZ1911]

this may sound n00by but i have never heard of this Blaupunkt brand? there on the audio express site: http://www.audioexpress.com.au/ and i just wanted to know if they are any good or not? as i know nothing about them

[Chris Rogers]

I'll let everyone else comment.

Meh, they are fairly low range but unique. I don't know anyone who has own a Blapunkt product

in my old car i had a 400w amp which powered very freaken well, awesome bass out of a shitty xplod sub. it ran strong for 4yrs till i sold the car.

one of their decks were a factory release into a european car, im not sure which one though.

[dano4127]

not too bad - you could do alot worse i had a little one of their amps powering my fronts in the last car and it did the job quite well!

Blaupunkt is German for blue point. Top quality shit. But then again what low quality things come out of Germany.

blaupunkt is a quality brand. I remember back home, all Protons used to come with them standard. One of the first makers to introduce those headunit with smart cards too if i'm not mistaken

IMHO Blaupunkt are a good quality brand.

My headunit is a Blaupunkt florida which i bought second hand in 2000 from Cash Converters for $200 and its still in my car now, working perfectly. Looks better than all those other crap head units out their with their flashy LCD animations and all that...

[Crimpage]

I would say they are average to good. nothing great tho. I used to have a 75w x 4 amp and was nothing special...

I would have rated Blaupunkt as pretty good? From what research I was doing, they have a fairly good reputation.

They make some of the "high" end stuff for stock model cars. By aftermarket standards the stock units wouldn't compare... but the aftermarket universal head units and stuff like that apparently are pretty good!

Now... Chris will shoot us all down! ;o)

[Chris Rogers]

nah. I'll second the OEM comment though. considering I bought a new combo van and I have no intent of swapping the OEM unit in it (whick is blau.)

the top end gear is great! not flashy as some would like but when it comes to sound - damn good for price.

[RANDY]

So that's pretty much what i've been hearing.

I was actually shopping for a Blaupunkt HU when I bought my Skyline, but even eBay had diddly-squat in the way of variety/availability.

Ended up with a Kenwood 5029 something-or-other. Blue lights and flashy facia.

Well, thanks for the input, Chris!

no probs.

blau went back to the specialist only so you wont find a lot of it on ebay.

that said if you wanted a kenwood unit at the time you should have asked me ( I also sell kenwood.)

[Crimpage]

I would also say good for the price, but not for any real high end stuff...

[RANDY]

Chris: cheers for the heads up. I bought the unit about 1.5 years ago now, and didn't know your trade back then =-]

I didn't WANT a Kenwood. But out of the lot it seemed the least flashy, the easiest to press buttons and read display, and had some other features I had to have.

HAD A BLAUPUNKT HEAD UNIT IN MY SUPRA WORKED GREAT FOR THE 1 YEAR I HAD THE CAR ID SAY THEY ARE GOOD AND IT WAS EASY AS TO USE

we stock Blaupunkt at work and seeing as k8 (my gf) has just picked up a 32 gts-t with a stock headunit and a missing front speaker, we might be testing out a bit of their gear shortly...
