evest Posted May 8, 2011 Share 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?

DP7657 Posted May 10, 2011 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoogyRev Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Anything other a double DIN looks odd IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DP7657 Posted May 10, 2011 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
un1eash Posted May 11, 2011 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
