Hey People, I was wondering if any of you know a good place to look at for sound for my car.

I am basiccly looking for a nice front loader at the moment, so if any of you know where i can get frontloaders at a good price it would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Oh boy, hi-fi corp, i don't think you should have bought from them, even if they are dirt cheap! I think that their stock has the highest failure-rate in SA!!! At first we bought many things from them incl TV, HI-FI, VCR etc. Eventually we ended up taking most of the things back with it having some problem or the other, not to mention they took ages to get minor things fixed. My dad coulda fixed it but it would have void all the warrantys.

Eventually we just gave all the stuff to my grandmother, cut our losses and bought good shyte from reputable dealers!!!

Straight up, hi-fi corp has a bad reliability reputation, here in Cape Town too. About the only thing I sink as much doh into as computers, is car-sound, lately at least. Any of you out there got some serious ice?

'Soundmatch' is a local car sound specialist if anyone don't know it yet. Fair prices.

okay this probably wont count as serious as cale24 would want it but ive just spent around R5000 on my car system - got myself a pioneer mp3 player with a 5 channel amp with built in crossovers with one 10 inch sub (dont want too much bass) as well as a set of pioneer seperates for the front doors but ive replaced the tweeters with the pioneer 200watt tweeters and ive got a set of calibra 8" limpets for the rears from my previous install - just also went and bought a sheet of superwood to build up the box for the sub but whatever ive installed already sounds pretty decent - only the subwoofer left to install

was toying with the idea of getting a lcd screen (one of the overhead ones) from autostyle - its only R2500 which together with a playstation2 with an inverter would give you in car gaming with dvd capability at around R2500 more but you cannot use that while driving for obvious reasons so i quit on that idea - rather kept that cash for the upgrades im planning for home usage - i could do with a 105cm tv - either plasma or rear projection 100hz and those prices are dropping daily so i dont wanna spend too much on the car stuff which can easilly be stolen - rather get that tv at the end of the year

Thats some quality equipment bro, I'm not a sound competitor or anythin.
I have two new 800W Pioneer subs through a 1200W monoblock amp ; 2 400W Kenwood 6x9s in the back plus 2 150W Hertz front speakers and tweeters, through a second 1000W 4 channel amp. Sony MP3 frontloader. Kicks pretty damn hard!
