Just means it wont go very loud without distorting, but then again neither will the standard speakers anyway, so probably ideal for you then

Have a look on ebuyer (www.ebuyer.co.uk)

They were doing a very similar priced model, but with a slightly bigger screen, and 4 * 60w internal amp

I think it was Ł199

Thats the one, sure it was cheaper the other day though

Is worth considering though, as its in the same price range pretty much

I still don't understand why anyone would want to bother playing a DVD in the car with only a 1"/1.5" screen

Unless of course you plan to spend more money and put a decent sized screen in the car, in which case, just get a DVD source unit, rather than a DVD headunit

Ive got one with a 2.5" screen in my 3door and i had to move it to the amplifier location as it overhands the standard size slot so it wouldnt fit in the 3door cause there is a lip above it.
