Default In car audio...

Hey I have been looking around at speakers and cd players for my car.. but there are millions out there.. i was just wondering if anyone had any recommendations. I just want some decent speakers in teh front (no 6x9s on teh parcel shelf!!!) and a decent cd player... for not too much...

also if anyone knows any good websites or shops or second hand places etc... taht would be fab too!

Seeing as no-one else is answering...

Best thing to do is go into Halfords and ask the person at the stereo counter [they're normally pretty clued up in there] what "direct Replacement" speakers you can get for your car [is it a corsa?] they will be uprated speakers, better than what you;ve got at the minute [which are more than likley paper cones]

Cheapest will probably be Kenwood and they'll be able to giev you the EXACT model number for the ones that fit your car, front AND back.

Then go on fleebay and buy them cheaper

Good thing about halfords tho, if you DO actully buy from there, is that they will fit them for you [for a price of course]

Head unit, just get something with a CD in it, and unless you're looking for audiophile quality sound, anything around Ł80-100 should be adequate
