Kenwood mate.

I have a Kenwood (not this model) but they are really good head units and IMO better than JVC

£180 ain't bad either.

[KAMENi]

i would say JVC
i know loads of people have JVCs, and only heard of 1 or 2 people who had problems with them

The kenwood one looks better mate. I'm going to stick with SONY. Love 'em.

[popsi]

go for jvc...if you look at the reviews on the net or talk to a professional
youll see that a jvc headunit provides a very very clean and high quality
sound...better then most of the headunits...

[Ads01]

Haha thats helped me out a lot, not smileys/smiley2.gif

Two for Kenwood, two for the JVC. Anyone else have any opinions, and again if anyone has any headunits that they really would recommend or any that they have seen and think are ace feel free to whack them up here.

Cheers.

headunits out...they are great

[Mattvtr]

Yeah I've been looking at that one in black Danny, must say it does look ace. Oh and cracking link, that Kenwood is only £150 on that site, it's begging for me to buy it I tell thee!

Just a couple more that I spotted. Going to have a serious look next weekend, and with it being pay day I'll be in the position to get one smileys/smiley16.gif
