Looking to buy a relatively decent sound system, help needed

[MarleyJ]

Hi all,

I would like to purchase a sound system for my ford fiesta.
I have £150-200 to spend (not sure if enough money?)

Please could you recommend some kit and let me know how difficult it is to manually fit the sound system

Many thanks

you'd have to give a few more clues like year of Fiesta etc...

Induction kit and a sports exhaust would probably be a good place to start.

Anything from alpine is good and within your budget. Budget for facia adapter/wiring adapter, keys to remove old head unit (about £20-30 for lot) . Then very easy to do, it'll all make sense when you remove old unit, Takes no longer than 45 mins max.

I forgot to mention that i would like better speakers too, currently just have the default standards ones.
Is it worth getting a sub and EQ, obviously not within my current budget but if it was worth it i'd spend more

Thanks for the replies

Try changing just the head unit first before deciding on the speakers. Usually, the OE head unit isn't powerful enough to control the speakers properly, resulting in distortion at low volume levels.

I put a JVC unit in my Impreza and it is more powerful than the OE unit. It can drive the speakers much better, resulting in lower distortion levels, even at higher volumes.

JVC unit is really good and was about £190 for a double DIN unit. Single DIN are usually slightly cheaper.
