Just browsing for a new sound system. At some point the speakers will need doing but the current CD player is below par for me. What do you guys think of this?

Sounds pretty good :glare:

Personally I love some of the stuff you can get from china. I have something similar, a road king 7 I think it's called

It puts me off quite a lot to be honest. Bu if I get a Sony ill be looking double that at least

I'm really happy with mine. The quality is good and I have no problems at all apart from the Satnav is pants after 20 minutes.

Mine is like this - http://youtu.be/OC3pG_D1EK0

Never fitter a double DIN or had to do and of the wiring. As I've just bought the block connector adapters from halfords :lol: is it easy to do? I hattteeeee anything electronic related on a car

Yeah similar sort of set up only difference is yours has a satnav and this me has a camera. You had it long?

I bought an eonon a couple of years ago, looks very similar to that and its been great for the money

Cheers guys good to know. Good value I think. At £120 you can't go wrong. How much are the double DIN surrounds for the zed?

There is a group buy on at the moment for them http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?171337-ZThirtyTwo-Z32-300ZX-RHD-Double-DIN-Group-Buy

 

Or you can make your own.

I've just read through the first 4 pages of that thread and its confusing as hell to be honest. I have no idea how much its going to cost and it looks like there's a long waiting time with regards to shipping etc. ill take a gamble and find one online somewhere lol

Sound is a very subjective topic and whilst most audiophiles would probably tell you to avoid this as its never going to deliver the best 'SQ', it all really depends on your personal requirements/perception of sound quality. If you set these up in a sound booth with good quality speakers and compared it to a more 'premium' unit, with the same speakers, I think you would tell the difference by a long way. However, a car is never an ideal environment for SQ - when your burbling down the motorway at 70mph, the road noise, wind noise exhaust noise and general car noise is likely to make the same comparison fairly negligible. I am not a sound engineer by the way, just an opinion from a music lover :)

Rhianna at 70mph in traffic, is no way Beethoven in a concert hall. Go for it!

Most important for your safety is ease of use.

Just noticed No Bluetooth on that unit..... so no phone hands free through the head unit..... see if there is one with camera + bluetooth...... ??

I'd rather listen to goose-honk than Rhianna! :)

you buy cheap u get cheap crap ..

I am however a big hypocrite! I set the budgets for my ICE and then blew them out if the water... Although the levels and expense some people go to are madness!

This would be a better option, second hand but Sony and has loads of functions......

Glad you saw this thread mark. As the ICE expert would you not reccomend this? The reason I want a double dine is because min is nasty looking at the moment being 2 singles. Couple this with the double DIN fascia im already at nearly £250 and once these bit ore in id like some new speakers because mine have terrible distortion

That does look good :) I had thought about buying 2nd hand its just being patient and finding a decent one at the right price.

Mine was pretty much plug and play. I'm not one to go stupid about sound quality but quite frankly mine is actually very good, I'm I'm there's better stuff out there.

 

Mine has the reverse camera as well, I just don't use it.

 

I would say I wanted Bluetooth tho.

 

In all honesty I would take the one I have over the premium stuff that mark was selling the other week and sped the other 600 quid i saved on something else
