|
|
I have recently purchased my first 80-Series, and it is a completely standard vehicle including the original headunit, etc. This is pretty dated, and currently only the speaks on the LH side of the car work anyway..!
So, I am looking to moderately upgrade the sound system - the vehicle will be for expedition use, so a decent quality (but not competition-spec!) and robust/reliable system is required. The main requirements for the headunit are iPod connection (that allows control/charging of the iPod) as well as an Aux-in for other devices. A CD slot is a given usually, but not actually required. Lastly, I am looking at single-DIN units as the slot below will be used to house a CB radio.
In addition, I want to upgrade the speakers at the same - again, nothing fancy, just something simple, robust and better than standard will suffice. Ideally I would like to replace the standard system like for like (in terms of speaker size), to do this what would you recommend? In the boot area I have one speaker only on the driver's (RH) side - is this some kind of tiny sub? Seems weird not to have a mid-range speaker on either side!
Lastly, is the standard wiring suitable, or is there anything to be wary of? Will the headunit wiring be a straight "plug and play" swap, or does it require a seperate wiring harness? Or worst, soldering?!
Thanks,
Mike |
