Default stuff from the states

My brother has asked me to get him some car stereo bits from ebay US,

Now i said i didn't think the stuff would work like the fm shit is different over there but would amps and stuff work here? are the cars the same or is it different like the house voltage?

Anyway any ideas people?



cheers
Martin

I know some older cars were +ve earth but would imagine that has phased out (no pun intended)

Can't think of anything else that could effect it

The price difference is shocking he like rockford fosgate shit and the subs he wanted cost Ł130ish each but in the states they are less than Ł100 for 2

This country just loves ripping people off

There is also a place in NYC called Canal Street. If you visit NYC you have to go there and haggle for all electronics stuff but it's mainly I.C.E that they have.
