    Got a bit of a "what shall I do problem"...

    I've got 2 pretty nice audio setups in my cars but I've been offered another one and don't know whether its worth bothering with or not.

    The one in my daily 99 VW Passat -

    H/U Kenwood PSW9531 **Don't want to get rid of this**
    Amp Alpine MRV-F357
    F&R Speakers Cerwin Vega 6.5 comps (no idea of model number but they sound nice)
    Sub Infinity 12" (again not sure of model number but its ok)

    One in my part time/weekend 91 MKII Golf GTi
    Hu's an Alpine cda 9853R
    Amps a DLS CA40 4 Channel
    Speakers are Rainbow SLX230 Deluxe
    Subs a Diamond M312.4

    Ok now I'm pretty happy with both setups (more so the daily one) but one of my mates is selling the following setup, which sounded awesome in his car, for 900

    Alpine H/U Screen IVX-C806
    Alpine Navigation NVE-N077P
    Front Speakers JL 650 CS
    Rears are JL 6.5" but newer than above (doesn't know the model number)
    Amps Phoenix Gold XS4300 & XS2300
    Alpine MP3 Changer
    Alpine CD Changer
    Sub JL 12W7

    What I wanted to know was is it worth buying, (its a bit old now) and trying to integrate into current systems, just replace what I've got with his system or just stick with what I've got and try to get it set up nicer.

    Sorry for the long post

    Cheers

    Jamie

    True it could be a bit of a problem to chandge but the gear your mate is selling is a blinding set up. Get him down a hundred quid maybe and go for it.

    Cheers for the advice you blokes:)

    I'm actually going to leave buying my mates stuff and just stick with what I've got. Maybe buy a seperate amp for my Diamond sub and use the DLS amp to go fully active in the Golf, and try and get the W7 off him to replace the Infinity in my Passat

    Thanks again

    the diamond M3 was pretty low in the range when it came out, the w7 would be nicer but would need a lot of power

    if you like what you have, then dont change anything
