£370 there.

£340 here with free pnp

As for JVC, their top line stuff is pretty good. I wouldn't spent a large part of your budget on a headunit, however, obviously don't get anything cheap.

As for the the link I've posted, you can get that along with the amp/sub/kit deal I posted. Make sure you ask to upgrade to the 4 channel amp too. And then get a set of comps (£65). You are slightly over budget at around £560 but you got one hell of a head unit.

very clean "classic" escort there though!

I won't be needing an amp or sub as I've got a Vibe 10" 300W one with built in amp so thats that covered, will just have to get speakers and head unit, will look into some of your head unit suggestions though and see what takes my fancy, with the speakers I just take out the old speaker and connect the new ones to the existing wires?

Really like the look of this JVC, anyone know much about it, reviews etc?

Yep. Do you want to run the speakers of the head unit or amp?

So am I right in thinking you want to spent £500 on a HU and a set of front speakers?

Ok first of all don't buy rear speaker, there is no point. Spend the £300-350 on a HU, 2 channel amp and front componant speakers.

Something like that.

I saw that Pioneer head unit in Halfords, didn't think much of it really, my last head unit was a Pioneer and I thought it was great but that one didn't do anything for me, was thinking about that JVC one in the link I posted earlier, think that looks good.

Will probably go for the Infinity speakers once I work out what size I need to get and if I can get an adapter.
