petone 0 Report post Posted August 26, 2004 I got a pioneer head unit and i think its awesome. Goes real good, you want be disapointed if you get pioneer, I haven't listened to blaupunkt stuff so I couldn't tell you. Easiest way to tell is go listen to blaupunkt stuff on comparator board and then some pioneer stuff. Then buy what sounds the best. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Carl 3 Report post Posted August 26, 2004 I woudln't put too much emphasis on the head unit Sparkle, it's the speakers that make most of the noticeable difference, get the right speakers first and then get a suitable headunit to drive them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OMG!! I never said the head unit didn't matter, I said to get a suitable head unit to drive the speakers, in any sound system it's the speakers that actually recreate the audio wave.While everything plays its role, you can have the best head unit in the world but if you've got shite speakers then it's going to sound crap whereas if you had the best speakers and a sh*t head you're still going to get a decent sound.

petone 0 Report post Posted August 27, 2004 sorry sparkle we still aint answered your orginal question, its pretty much agreed that the european stuff is better than the japanese stuff (just like the cars) {sorry sic*}. Why don't you tell us some of the model no's you were thinking of getting and prices etc? You could go post this at www.nzicemag.co.nz they'd have a better idea Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bumpstop325 0 Report post Posted August 28, 2004 i like the sony aftermarket stuff.(the stuff you personaly import) pioneer amps are the best value for money, i think so anyway and MTX stuff :mosh: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
*sic 1 Report post Posted August 28, 2004 sorry sparkle we still aint answered your orginal question, its pretty much agreed that the european stuff is better than the japanese stuff (just like the cars) {sorry sic*}. why say sorry to me, im running infinity fronts, hifonics amps, stinger cabling and cap and sound dampner, 15 " earthquake sub and jvc mp3 heady.. i think im happy with what i have get the best components to run speakers you can then worry about speakers i mean do you go get a phat car then put 2 stroke fuel in it? No, same as getting a sh*t heady and sh*t cabling with sh*t amps again, you get what you pay for. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bemmaboi 0 Report post Posted September 6, 2004 pioneer make some pretty good stuff, but then again blaupunkt are just as good. Pioneer would be good because if the worst does happen, it would be easyer to fix, (more popula in NZ) etc, but its a tuff question..........I would prob go with pioneer because its cheaper etc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
