Stock speakers are and always will be exactly that. If ur concerned about quality sound then dont waste money on things u dont need.

If u need a CD player then hunt around.. i found a top of the line kenwood model from the last range they released new for $400 from JB Hifi.

Invest in AMPs and spend less on speakers...

if u wanna see what i brought but havent installed yet its on my website... total cost of around $1200

bit damn dirty... have to wait til i get my cord for my cam so i can upload the pics i took of it...

but yeah anyway... make sure u shop around and dont rush into things... check out the car audio link too as they know what theyre talking about whgen it comes to audio and are just as helpful as the ppl u will find here :P

u can also pick up some cheap audio gear too!

Standard stuff is crap. The cd player skips on bumps and there's

a chance that you might even only get a tape player.. Like me!

With the standard deck, you also need to get it FM Modulated.

So recommended get an aftermarket australian deck. The MP3

Kenwood looks good, but build quality is not so great and I've

seen many break down.

My 2 cents...

Wow, that's the exact head unit I'm getting tomorrow, they're pretty popular! Go to JB Hifi if you can, their price is only $490, but you can haggle them down to low $400's if you pay cash. I'm going in tomorrow with a couple of other people and we're hoping to get an even $400 or less :)

my friend had a top of the line JVC and it was absolute crap... like anything sometimes u get a lemon sometimes u get a good one... in the end it comes down to what u like and want just like anything else.

ive also had 4 mates with kenwoods and 1 off them got a lemon which he merely took back and had replaced.

We actually find the stock speakers in the front to be fine. We recently bought a nice JVC MP3 player and put our two 10" pioneer subs and amp in the back.

The stereo sounds really good for the little effort we have put in.

I'm not really into audio stuff for the car before performance but the subs we already had from Brutis. So we chucked them in and we are quite impressed by the sound they give :)

Depending on what standard of stereo you like I suppose.

hey my car is the same as urs jimx ... except i have mspec sideskirts and spoiler .. can't tell if uve got them : )

anyways it turns out the sound systems is totally f***ed up and i have to do the whole lot ... gonna get pioneer 6x9 4 way ( or 3 way .. only 20 bucks diff so probably get the 4 way, do u guys think thers much diff??, i dont' wanna put a sub in my car .. i cant be bothered) and get some pioneer 2-way splits, ... the head unit ... well what i plan to do is get the cheapest jvc mp3 head unit available for about 300 now and then upgrade to pioneer later ... what do u guys think??

well then our cars are the best full stop!! ... no arguments please!! :)

hey jimx.. i think i'm going to get that mp3 player too ... the guys at tonkins already said that they would do it for 400 cash no problems ... no haggling needed .. they offered :(

anyways i would go for the higher model buy my insurance is 2500 :eek: :eek: :eek: yeah from young and cool

can't find a better quote from anyone :)

Picked up the JVC head unit for $390 last night and some Pioneer splits (225W) which I forget the model of, but they were listed at $320 and I got them for $260. So I saved $200 off retail, not a bad night's shopping!

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
