Founding Member AhsyV6 Posted March 24, 2017 Founding Member Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 Looks like I will just stick to my Pioneer Wireless remote https://www.amazon.co.uk/Pioneer-CD-R320-Remote-Control-Tuners/dp/B0011ECEHG nice and practical and some will feel it pointless when everything is an arms length away. You know when you know where all the buttons are on the tv/ cable remote and its second nature well this is how this head unit remote feels. Just cruising along with eyes on the road whilst making changes to the head unit via the remote. Easy peasy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators PTR200S Posted April 21, 2018 Moderators Report Share Posted April 21, 2018 Well it seems time marches on, waits for no man etc etc.. Decided not bothered with an autochanger stack ...just a cd unit would be fine. Not done anything to the audio side of the Coupe yet but I have got a single slot cd honda unit i would like to put in ..... Is this a straight swap? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators hughezee Posted April 22, 2018 Author Administrators Report Share Posted April 22, 2018 Whatever you put in you will lose the controls on the steering wheel as discussed previously buddy, although a 2001-2002 6th Gen BOSE CD player won't work in the coupe... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Founding Member Retro Rich Posted May 24, 2018 Founding Member Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 Imagine taking flex to strikers. (A once local night club where yobs would show off their 1.3 Novas and sound systems). Nobody would know what flex is or indeed what had hit them. Ohhhh yes, we’re perhaps a trifle too old for that now, by perhaps a couple of decades ? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll get asked what engine is in it and when you reply "3 litre" they'll ask "Is that 1.3 litre?" saying the "one point" bit very quietly! "No, a proper 3 litre - eat my dust losers!" Then out-blast them with the sound as well! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founding Member Mazda Man Posted May 26, 2018 Founding Member Report Share Posted May 26, 2018 Quality not quantity counts with audio I believe. What’s the point of having thousands of watts blasting through a 12” incher. Ooo errr Dave. As well as the Honda Guru, Stu is also an Audio Guru too, so whereas the man on street with settle for a £50 jobbie that plugs straight in, Stu I suspect, will use specific, quality pieces to build the system to the best it can be. I’d rather listen to my Megadeth through a quality system at say 100 watts than through a shite system with 1000 watts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Laird_Scooby Posted May 26, 2018 Moderators Report Share Posted May 26, 2018 As i sometimes say Geoff, power is nothing without control. Feeding 100W of well amplified sound through some decent speakers is always going to sound better than 200W through a carp amplifier and speakers with cones that resemble colanders. Granted those are slight extremes but a cheap amp will go into distortion and worse still, possibly saturation a lot earlier than a decent one so in effect, reducing the output. A good one will have control over that and be able to cope while still delivering maximum power so in effect will be louder. That said, from the little i've gleaned about Stu and his audio, the amp will likely be in the kW ratings rather than W with little or no THD and speakers to match - no contest for the "Halfrauds Special 3000W Sub-Woofer/amplifier combo for £39.99" 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founding Member Mazda Man Posted May 26, 2018 Founding Member Report Share Posted May 26, 2018 Back when I was a lad, the best systems were always separates. Separate turntable, amp, cassette (yes, cassette), etc and the Pioneer system I had had gold plated screws on the back and gold connectors. It costs around £1,000 from Kay’s Catalogue. Sold it a few years ago for £100 I think. ? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
