Default New Car Radio...oh dear...

Hey Folks,

I was in halfords, and as I have a crap car, chose a relatively cheap
car-radio.

I went for a goodmans GCE-7207i - as it has a direct ipod input which
charges the ipod. The equivelant kenwood was £199, but this model was £99 in
halfords with free fitting.

It did say in the shop 4x40w, but I have since discovered from the manual
it's actually 4x20w - so halfords had a misleading sign up.

As I have factory-fitted car speakers, and presuming I get a new car etc in
the future, is 4x20w okay for someone who just listens to music and mp3 cds,
etc? I woint be fitting a subwoofer etc I don't think, but from what i
could surmise from google-groups, 4x20w is on-par with factory-fitted
radios.

So in otherwords, is this goodmans product a heap of mince?

Any thoughts appreciated ;-)
