Hey guys,
I am the proud owner of a one owner well loved 1997 Mazda Astina 2.0 V6.
The stereo is original. It is a nice unit, 2 x front door mounted speakers, 2 x rear door mounted speakers, and 1 x centre channel in dash.
Overall, the unit is a bit average at higher volumes, and the volume knob and some other minor wear issues on the unit bother me.
I would like to replace with a unit that gives me a nice sound. I am not out for a huge soundign system, and I would prefer that it maintains the interior of the car, ie in the original mounts, no boot mounting etc.
Anyone have any suggestions. I am budgeting about $900, about $400 ish for a good head unit, and 2 x front with splits, + 2 x rears.
I am unsure what to do about the centre, whether to simply disconnect or otherwise, as the higher freqs should be picked up byt the addition of the splits.
I am in Perth, anyone recommend a good audio shop??
all input appreciated.
