| 635090 | 2008-01-29 08:22:00 | Hopefully not all of you are old blokes still driving round in your Morris with tape players and some of you have been involved at some point in car audio. Basically, I'm looking to upgrade the pos tape player (yes, it only plays tapes) in my Nissan Pulsar, and wanted some opinions on what brands to go for. It has to be a brand that makes cd players with aux ports and are decently priced (something under $200 RRP) I first thought about the Sony Xplod series, but Sony aren't my favourite brand for anything and I've also heard some bad things about the xplod stuff. Any recommendations would be great. |

| 635092 | 2008-01-29 08:50:00 | Well yeah...I suppose I could try that. Next. |

| 635093 | 2008-01-29 08:56:00 | You could try Fusion or Alpine. I would say them as well as Sony and Pioneer are probably the big ones. As far as headunits are concerned, i have used Sony and find them excellent. | noone (22) | ||

| 635097 | 2008-01-29 09:06:00 | Apart from Metla's suggestion, Sony are great. Have been using them coupled with Pioneer speakers for years, never an issue. Even installed one in a tractor, which gets covered in dust and crap, and has lasted 3 years so far. | wratterus (105) | ||
| 635098 | 2008-01-29 09:08:00 | www.trademe.co.nz Just a note, Don't believe them when they say the output is 50w x 4. Even though there are 4 channels, you will never get the rated 50w across all the four channels at the same time. most manufacturers do it, but just be aware that you won't get that power across all your channels. Are you planning to put a sub in as well? |

| 635099 | 2008-01-29 09:12:00 | At this stage no. But probably at a latter stage. Am also looking at some (cheapish) 6x9: www.trademe.co.nz |
