I've not used them personally, but have heard via other ice forums that they do not come recommended, and are usually known for pedaling in-phase tat.

What is it you're after?  Is www.caraudiodirect.co.uk that much more expensive?  Their customer service is well rated.

i have heard of a lot of people being scammed by caraudiocentre advertising low prices on good kit then calling you back to say out of stock and they will do you something with a lto more power for the same price (inphase) usually.

caraudiodirect have excellent service and i have never had a problem with them :D

Cheers for the heads up :smiley:

Planning on getting speakers and head unit from there now.

Are the cheaper Kenwood speakers/head units any good

Not sure really. Was thinking about £70 for a head unit and was looking at about £70 for some 6x9s and 6.5" to put in the front
