Sound Idea.

Hey guys, I'm new to all this car audio so I was looking to get some opinions on a little upgrade I want to do.

Currently the car has a cheapo pioneer head unit and some sony 6" 4ways which I installed a couple of weeks back because I was sick of the stock speakers. The front doors already have dampening in them so I don't have to worry about that.

I really just want to add a bit more bass and a iphone friendly head unit for now but I'm not sure on what path to take.

I have been looking at this for the head unit (maybe the version with bluetooth).

Not sure what head unit you are talking about there :S

I picked up a nice JVC unit the other day from SuperCheap Auto that has exactly what you are looking for.

Ipod control + bluetooth (including a microphone for hands free for your mobile).

Supercheap had it for $90 off making it close enough to $250. Was the best option when looking at all the other contenders in the $250 margin.

I'm sure you can find better, but it was a great option for a quick purchase and build.

Yeah I was eyeing off that head unit something cronic, I love the idea of putting the MP3 player inside the head unit, especially since I don't use it for cds.

Eventually got the JVC I linked earlier and ran a usb cable to the din holder I installed below it. Basically the same thing, just nowhere near as cool.

Lol nice, any idea on what size and amp would be good for that sub?

Any monoblock or bridged 2 channel with at least 200W RMS would be alright.

Can cheap out and get a jaycar response precision amp, or go up from there.

Ok thanks, gotta figure out how to build an enclosure now =]
