but i also like http://www.caraudiocentre.co.uk/product.asp?product=19772this, well i like most of em actually
I got my 9812rb from http://www.mcs-direct.co.ukhttp://www.mcs-direct.co.uk , Fount the service to be good, its more than your budget of £200 though! But there is plenty under the £200 mark on there.

Thats the one!
I take it would be okay to power my components and sub off a 4 channel amp?? And also my rear speakers?!
Im a bit dim when it comes to ICE! Lol!
lol i im not sure.. buy it plug it all in and turn it on.. if theres no black smoke/burning smell then your good to go!
Buy my Alpine CDA 9813R for £200 and ill fit it for you, with the extra power lead.
Ive already got an excellent Alpine HU but it needs the extra power feed and Im not sure Im happy about it because I think it may be affecting the battery and it also regularly cuts out!!
I know they are excellent HUs but for peace of mind I wanted one without the additional power requirement!

April, if yours cuts out, its probably that crappy yellow fuse thing we had to fit.
Ive got about half a dozen nice sealed (well, splash proof!) blade type fuse holders that can easily replace that yellow one.
You know I dont do anything all day, bite your tongue and drop the car off one day. I can even arrange to be out when you leave it and collect it if you like!
It would be very silly to go back a few models when the 9815 is perfect.
I bought a 9823RR from hendon car audio for about £130 all in. Well pleased with it. I didnt want anything fancy, but still required a bit of quality.

I run my Alpine IVA-300RB media station with a Alpine V12 550 rms digi-amp for the sub along with a 2 ch amp for my front system all from the batt. and it´s fine.....So you must have a dodgy fuse holder/connection for sureQuote: Originally posted by april on 17 September 2004

depends if u want to use the gadgets or internal amp?
if ur running subs, how many? are u amping every speaker? if u are there is no point flogging out the cash to get the top of the range HU cos the gadgets are useless - i only found out this after i boutgh a 15rb alpine unit!!
i dont use the MX bass engine anymore cos it distorts the sound - all i use is the sub woofer control and its up full!
Nope! lol
Nothing wrong with her clutch control, or mine, something aint right with the car!

FYI, the blade fuse holders were from Maplin - They were a few quid I think. Dont attempt to bullet them on or anything, the bullets arent rated to that sort of current.
I was always under the impression only 1 speaker cut out - in which case its unlikely to be the HU power supply at all. Of course if things have changed, that would explain why youre trying to do what youre doing.
Good luck with it, Ive got the job of installing a full Alpine satnav system in mine now.
More likely a dodgy speaker connection if thats the case.Quote: Originally posted by RB_172 on 23 September 2004

Whos told you its the power cable? Do they actually have a clue what they are doing?
What are you lot on about!? Lol!
It is one speaker that cuts, because its busted. But the Head Unit also cuts out and has actually not been working at all for about a fortnight, which I have to admit, I am pretty sure its the fuse holder that is causing the problem and eventually will get round to fixing it!!
But am also having problems with the engine, which is not my clutch control thank you very much!!!!!!!!!
^^^ What she said! lol
Was just the driver side front component that cut out - and that was cos the speaker was fooked not anything else! Second one of those MB Quartz components thats died!
Cheap rubbish! lolThe headunit also cuts out which is no doubt due to the mailto:w@nk">w@nk fuse holder which will be replaced soon and should almost certainly rectify the problem!
And the car needs to go back in to Renault (oh dear!) cos its not right when its first started! lol
