I dont mind paying extra money but £200 just to watch a dvd and have touch screen isnt worth it to me.

Alpine all day long - I had a 9812 for years and was fantastic. The time correct feature allows you to move the sound round the car - good if you like clear, crisp, warm, deep, subtle sounds.

That said, I've got a plug in the back of my standard Volvo unit which gives me a left and right phono feeds. This goes to an old phoenix gold amp and a rockford fosgate sub. This sounds just as good in my volvo as it did in my old Golf with the alpine unit.

Depends on how far you want to go but simple physics (wavelength) dictates that you cannot get good a base sound from a teeny tiny speaker. A good sub with a properly powered amp is essential to me for the low base sounds - be it the prodigy, propellerheads or JS Bach. You can pick this stuff up so cheap on fleabay and it's easy enough to take out if you need to put a fridge in the back.
