Recomend me a headunit + door speakers



I'm looking to get a new head unit to replace the dated one i currently have, also i would like some quality front door speakers that will fit straight in and look completely OEM (must be able to put OEM grill back on)

Budget: ~£200 for new Headunit+accessories and speakers

I Want:
-Stalk control, full use of the standard stalk would be great, albeit if i have to buy an adaptor as well.
- iPod connectivity (want to charge it) AND 3.5mm jack.
- Decent output for door speakers
- Pre-outs for the amp/sub in the rear (and front pre outs if i choose to amp the front speakers)
- Smart appearance


Don't want:
- Tacky features (like plugging in the whole ipod)
- Bluetooth handsfree, i already have a parrot system so this would be no use to me

Thanks :)
 
Done some looking, this is what i'm buying on payday:

-Alpine CDE-112Ri - http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/alpine-cde-112ri.html

-MTX Roadthunder RTC502 http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/mtx-roadthunder-rtc502.html

- Raptor C1.0FM 1 Farad Capacitor http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/raptor-1farad-capacitor.html

-CTSRN003 Stalk Adapter for Renault Clio/Megane/Scenic/Laguna II/ http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=10270

-Connects2 Alpine Stalk Adaptor http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/connects2-can-bus-alpine-adaptor.html

All for the tidy sum of £205.95

I want to double check it is 5" speakers that fit in the door cards right?

personally i would ditch the capacitor and spend the extra £20 on better speakers

Can't go wrong with Alpine but what about:

if you not bothered about CD's then their decent, i've got the IDA-X305S and it's by far the best HU i've had, sound quality is very good and menu's are really simple (think their slightly different on the one i posted though)

Sony CDX - Gt40UI

I thinks this is the name front usb port (To charge the ipod),

Good door speaker output,

Aux input

Looks smart,

No bluetooth!!

Had one for a year now brilliant head unit!

I do actually use the CD player still, easy to borrow mates CDs etc and im not too sure about the looks tbh.

Ill do some more reading about the caps, but my lights dip when i have it turned up haha

So do mine, i think i need to get one of these too, very annoying especially when at traffic lights and i can't help but notice it! :rasp:

GET RID OF THE CAP.

Hope the caps make it clear, if they didn't then head over to talk audio and get those guys to tell you again.

Waste of money, does nothing, second battery or just updating the big 3 cables under the bonnet is more use than a cap.

The mtx roadthunder components are very good, I've got a pair myself and I love them. Not got quite the punch in mid bass as my old hertz hsk but there less than half the price so ber8.

Don't worry about the output ratings on headunits, they rate them in max power which means jack s**t anyway so the difference between a hu outputting 60x4 and 50x4 wont be noticeable.

Just amp the components
 
Having looked at talk audio I won't be touching a cap. Will get a thicker gage wiring kit maybe do the big 3 grounding points well see. Is it worth changing the rear speakers in the rear cards?

I will also be getting component front speakers rather than coax and replace the front tweeters. Is there much room for non OEM tweeters?
