evest Posted May 8, 2011 Posted May 8, 2011 Finally decided I need to replace my OEM/ghetto iPod setup with something that will sound much better! I was looking for a simple system for great sound - not with loads of features that I'll never use. Like the Alpine reputation so I'm currently planning to get the Alpine iDA-X311RR single din unit (pictured below) - made for iPod and no CD mechanism (sold all mine on Music Magpie!). I may also get new speakers and possibly and amp further down the line. Any thoughts on this system? This will give me the iPod control I want along with an extra tray space in the cockpit! Can anybody suggest some decent speakers to go with it? Finally - I'm no expert so how good is the Bose amp; is it worth me looking to get a new one? Cheers Quote
DP7657 Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 If I were you I would put an extra £100 into it and then you can get a slick looking double DIN which will have all the connectivity you will ever need and a DVD player / screen just for the hell of it! This is my short-list, I'm still deciding too: viewtopic.php?t=49192 Quote
DP7657 Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 I think a single just looks a bit strange in such an impressive car, I feel I need to keep the ICE up to the standard of the Zed and not let him down by trying to save myself some money haha Quote

I can see where you are coming from with going double din and there are some sexy looking units out there. But I do like the idea of freeing up a single din space to do something else with though. Hmmm... will think on... Cheers Quote
un1eash Posted May 11, 2011 Posted May 11, 2011 On facelift 350Z's with OEM Nav i think it looks odd having a double din screen. Its good to have a fancy touch screen but if it means sacrificing quality then i'd pick a single din all the time. Quote
