| Go for Alpine. Mine is a 7279L I think, costs around #230, is a
pull-out model, and is 25w x 25w. Sound is brilliant. I use Maxcell
crome cassettes - they also make 100 minute tapes which are very
handy for slightly longer cd's.
I run mine with 4 (pioneer) speakers, which it is designed to do.
The unit can be expanded later with amps etc.
(My previous was a Pioneer, and was c$@p.)
Best advice is find a shop that will demo one for you.
Rich.

| The front speakers in the Mk2 Golf are on top of the dash. This is OK for the
treble but not so good for the bass response. Four speakers with some good
low end performance in the back ones seems like a good idea.

| re last
good hifi certainly can be appreciated in a car - of course it depends
which car. Obviously the quieter the better, but a good sound will
sound better than a poor sound in any car. Also a good hifi will
be much less tireing (sp?) on the ears than a lowfi cranked up with
distortion etc etc.
These days a good hifi can be set up in your car from a little as
#200-#300 (pounds).
One drawback
============
A good hifi unit will mercylessly expose poorly recorded tapes -
mine did !

Please come back to the original theme; ratholes remind me too much
of the Renault 5 I drove some years ago.
Thanks for the interesting suggestions.
Could those of you, recommending Alpine and Pioneer give me the
exact names of the models You mean (some already did).
Regards,
Olaf.
P.S Neil, you are really supporting almost everything, are you!?

No what they have is a cabinet full of all the speakers, and the
untis in the centre. The computer terminal is then just in front
of the cabinet. All amps and diving systems are underneath the
display.

Stand well back and listen to your favorite grooves.
Good thing about the place i go, they're all youngish so UP that
volume, and that bass !
The difference between this and normal displays is that you can
have any combination of low/mid/high range speakers together with
tape/dat/cd players. Of course all the remote units are included.
If you go, have fun ;-)

| Re -1 >> Stand well back and listen to your favorite grooves.
That's OK in the shop, but how do you stand well back when you get
the rig in your car?
It seems to me, the only valid way to test the outfit is to put it
in the accoustic environment for which it is intended.

| The display in the shop caters for all tastes of music. Whether
it be Heavy Metal, Classical, Soul, Pop...
The speakers are not catered for one taste (as with pioneer, etc...),
i mean that if you're into rock, then suddenly (heaven forbid!)
turn to a classical lover, then the speakers can handle both ranges
- whereas if you buy other speakers (pioneer, etc...), you useally
get asked 'What kind of music does sir like' - 'Rock' - 'Oh well
in that case the 2347pq's are very nice, or we have the...'
I agree that the sound is *very* different in the car, but as the
previous reply states 'If it sounds better in the shop then it'll
sound better in your car'
Later,
Lewis.

Hi there !
Just wanted to let You know what I've bought at last.
It's a Blaupunkt Coburg (about DM 450.-),
20X20W, autoreverse, fader, 24 fixed stations, travel-store (means
You can get the six main frequencies around with one button),quick-
out, code, travel-ARI (if You driven out of the range of the 'traffic-
news-station' You have stored, while listening to a cassette, it
searches for a new station with traffic news itself);
and it sounds quite good !
Thanks again (I'll keep Alpine in my mind);
Olaf.

| I've always had / used Alpine car radios in various guises. I've never
had any problems with the radio section (which is a common chip set
shared between the most of their units) I can pick up 210 from Guilford
to down in the Solent without any problem. (I can even listen to
Capital FM down in the Solent - just about). However the quality and
placement for your aerial will probable have a marked effect on the
reception you get.
