Band Expanders

[B-Man]

My Car came with a Nakamishi CR/Tuner (Single DIN) and Nakamishi (Single DIN) Mini Disc player.

From what I understand Nakamishi is a pretty good brand of stereo - Well in Hi Fi anyway - I didn't know they made Car Audio stuff.

So my question is - How good do these band expanders work ?? Is it worth while doing to this unit ?? As I have a fairly new Sony Head Unit that I was going to put in (cause I didn't expect to get a good stereo with the car).

If I take the Nakamishi out, not sure if the Mini Disc will still work with the new Sony.

Also, I have 2 Amps (One for Main Speakers x 4 ) and one for Sub - Don't know if these will work with Nakamish or not as I'm not sure if the Desk has 2 x RCA outs. (I know my Sony does)

Anyhoo - Help is appreciated.

There are more than one brand of band expander out there, and some work better than others - so make sure you don't buy a crap one if you are going to get one...

At a cost of around $30 to $50, it is a small price to pay even if you only use the Nakamichi head unit for a few weeks and then decide to go with the Sony or whatever...

Yeah, for the $$$, I may as well stick one in and see how it goes !!!

Mooks,

I'm gonna get a Band Expanda for the Naka - I'll see how it goes - If it doesn't work with my existing kit (Kicker Amps, etc) Then I'll be looking for a home for it.

I'll post how I go with it all.

Thanks all !
