Which stereo & speakers for my Coupe

[bungle74]

Ok, my Coupe has a Pioneer head unit in it at the moment, the drawback being it's tape only. Whilst it's been fun listening to my transition through early 90's indie & grunge with a bit of old skool rave & jungle thrown in for good measure I think it's time I bit the bullet & got myself something a tad more modern.
My question is which head unit should I get for my car? The dash lights are all orange so would prefer something to match. I've been looking at various stereos up to around £200 max but can't see anything I really like.
My favourite so far is an Alpine which has selectable display colours including amber but would like some advice before I make my decision.
I have some In Phase slimline speakers for the dash & rear panels but wonder if I should go down the crossover route and have tweeters in the back as well. Does anyone have any ideas which route I should go down?
Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Becker - nothing else compares IMHO.

I have an interest in any replies as I am currently looking for a stereo for the S6 that has red/orange illumination also!

I fitted a Kenwood mask, mainly because it looks like I have no stereo when left parked and it still looks better at shows with no 'modern' system on show to spoil the interior

[a25c]

that's very similar to the stereo I am replacing.....I think both myself and the original poster are looking for a red/orange display,cheers

Yeah, definitely an orange display would be good. I'm thinking something along the lines of an Alpine head unit as they have amber buttons and I can plug an MP3 player into it (I don't do iPods.....much to the disgust of my kids who love theirs!!). However, full orange display would be good.

I also have a kenwood mask and the red/orange display matches almost perfectly with the other dash lights...

[bungle74]

That's the sort of thing I'm after but I can't seem to find any Kenwoods for sale like that.......guess they must have been a model from a couple of years ago.

Think I may go for this.........

Kenwood are ugly flashy looking radio's IMHO, I think Pioneer and Sony are much better looking and come with red illumination aswell.

With these you can choose the colour you want to match the interior illumination of the car.

This doesn't look bad either and keeps the German soul of the car alive

No probs...thats the beauty of it,you can change the display to multiple colours!

not bad, just a shame about the pedal covers. Would look better without imho.
