Hi-Fi upgrade advice (Bournemouth)

[jamesm]

Hi all,

I have just purchased an Audi 80 Cabriolet and although it has some nice extra - there is no Bose upgrade.. So the stereo sound is pretty crap. Now as I know absolutely nothing about car hi-fi I would love some advice on how to improve it! The head unit is a fairly new Blaupunkt 4x50, so I'm guessing I need to purchase an Amp and then at a later date some replacement speakers? I don't the head unit model and spec to hand, however I can post it up later if necessary.

I don't really want to go down the route of base boxes etc as my last A4 had the basic up-rated sound system and I was more than happy with that. I also have a habit of not keeping my cars long so don't want to spend lots of money.

So:
- Which make and model of Amp?
- Where is the best place to buy it?


Oh, and I live in Bournemouth, so will be looking for someone locally to fit it.

Thanks is advance for any ideas guys.

I fitted some pretty good Alpine speakers to my car a few months back, put in a cheapish Sony head unit and was away. Didn't bother with an amp or anything like that!
Sound quality much improved and was done for not much money...
The speakers I bought were £40ish.

Speak to Mike at Bavaria Autoradio along Castle Lane (tell him David @ K-Tec Racing said to call).

He has done several installs for me and his work is top notch.

Number is 01202511221.

Second that recommendation Mike and the guys at Bavaria do a top job.

In a cabriolet you need more than a standard head unit and speakers. An amp of some description upgraded speakers should help you.

Good luck...
