Is it any good to add to the standard system on my 306 to give a bit more bass? I don't want to give up any boot space, and I can't afford a custom build box etc. I do not want ear bursting levels of bass, just a pleasant bass to pop, light rock, and classical while driving. Oh, and does anyone know if it will fit under the seat in my 306?

I recently swapped an old Philips CAR400 radio/cassette for a Kenwood CD/tuner and it works fine, *but* when I use the phone, the audio mutes OK but the phone output doesn't play through the speakers. Standard Nokia hands-free kit is fitted and it worked fine before with the old radio/cassette installed. Any ideas? Jim.

Hi everyone I'm a newbie in the world of audio production. I'm especially interested in digital audio and sound engineering. Can anyone recommend some good books or websites about the topic? Thanks in advance.

I have a 2002 astra which has a mid range and tweeter in all four of the doors. Next year I'm planning to buy an MP3 player the equivalent to the Alpine 9815 (only reason I have not bought one of these already is because I heard there is still a delay beween mp3 tracks, hoping this will not be the case in next years model). Anyway I don't want to modify the car too much so was wondering how easy...

I have a Sony MDX-CA680X head unit and an Alpine CD changer. The connections are physically different but are there any adaptors that allow a Sony head unit to run an Alpine CD changer? My whole sound system is amped so will it be the amp or the head unit which determines the quality of the CDs being played from the CD changer? Thanks

Can anyone tell me the best/cheapest way to decode a Phillips SC201. Regards, Doug.

Is there an FAQ for this group? If not, I have some pretty basic questions which maybe some of you can help me with. I'm having a classic car restored and I want to kit it out with a reasonable stereo. It has a space for a centre dashboard speaker, which was all it had when new. I plan on putting 2 speakers in the rear. If they're really small, i.e. small enough to fit inside a 50mm eyeball...

Hi all, I have bought an FM modulator for my car radio (the type that plugs into the radio's aerial socket, not the mini transmitter type) so I can use my MD in the car. I am going to install it this weekend but have a few questions. Will the unit block all incoming signals from the car aerial when powered up? If so I presume I need to wire a switch to turn the modulator off when I want to...

In trying to fit my Nokia phone kit to my Galaxy I cut into the red/brown wire that provides an ignition switched supply to the radio. This was wired into a relay to switch the radio off when the phone rings in accordance with the Nokia instructions. So far so good but then I forgot to cover an unused spade on the relay and that 12v supply momentarily shorted to the radio case. Now the...

I need to get a new head unit for my Smart car following the death of the original CD changer. I am looking at the unit mentioned in the subject and wanted to know opinions, bearing in mind that I don't want to spend much :-) Also, I have the Smart sound upgrade installed, which involves better speakers with enclosures in the dash, and a pair of tweeters on top of the dash. The head unit is then...

Selling because I'm getting a new car! Ok its a Vibe 12inch Active Sub (I think thats what its called) Basically its plug and play, No messing about making boxes etc. It all ready to go.

I'm about to replace my trusty Sony MDX7900R head unit. Vehicle is a Land Rover Discovery (with sub in rear door), budget is £300. I already have a Sony head unit with the remote control stick (connects via a 3mm jack plug), so something Sony that could re-use the stick would be a bonus. Could you guys recommend an MP3 compatible head unit? I've been looking at caraudiodorect.co.uk for specs...

Hi, Does anyone know if Kenwood do an adaptor to let the steering wheel controls fitted to a Rover 25 work with the M4525 mp3 CD player? Thanks
