hi i just bought a DEH-P7450MP deck for my new lancer. i dont know much about car audio but i paid $600 for the deck and am told its worth $1100...can someone tell me if this is a good deal?
im about to buy some speakers and was under the impression that they cost about $200 for good ones. ive been told its a waste of a good deck if i buy average speakers so i should spend $400-$500...true? can anyone recommend GOOD speakers to buy in the sydney area? Hopefully around the $300 mark. THANKS

    foxylady,

    Near the bottom of this page is the "On The Move" section for car audio. I think you'll find more help there.
