Helping a friend - 2/12/2008 8:17:24 AM    35thCamaro Posts: 235 Joined: 1/21/2008 Status: offline Hey guys, my friend at school has a ws6 and he is looking to upgrade his stereo. What would you car audio guys recommend that is halfway decently priced as he is not looking at spending too much money. I think the plan right now is to just upgrade the head unit and speakers... Thanks in advance!  _____________________________ Smooth Airlid/Magnaflow Catback and Y-Pipe/JL Audio System---Chrome 18s! Post #: 1

Of course I must ask, how much is decently priced and not alot of money? Clarion is pretty good, a little pricey for my taste though. _____________________________ 2000 Firebird 3.8 5-speed (in reply to 35thCamaro) Post #: 2

RE: Helping a friend - 2/12/2008 7:27:33 PM    35thCamaro Posts: 235 Joined: 1/21/2008 Status: offline Ummm lol I think he only wants around like 120 for head unit... Probably 50-75 a speaker. idk these are just ballpark guesses. I told him Alpine was probably one of the best ways to go, but I have a Kenwood unit in my s10 and it has worked well for me, so I told him that would be good too. I've also heard good things about infinity speakers... _____________________________ Smooth Airlid/Magnaflow Catback and Y-Pipe/JL Audio System---Chrome 18s! (in reply to red94v6) Post #: 3

I cant say I know much about Infinity, ive never known anyone with em so Ive never actually heard them. _____________________________ 2000 Firebird 3.8 5-speed (in reply to 35thCamaro) Post #: 4

I don't think he wants anything to wake up the neighbors and knock pictures off the walls, just something that sounds a little better and goes louder than stock _____________________________ Smooth Airlid/Magnaflow Catback and Y-Pipe/JL Audio System---Chrome 18s!

My kenwood has never given me any trouble either. I'll look into the pioneer speakers, thanks _____________________________ Smooth Airlid/Magnaflow Catback and Y-Pipe/JL Audio System---Chrome 18s!
