kdcarroll Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 I'm buying Sat. Radio for my wife's suv for Christmas. She prefer's XM, even though her Mazda is pre-wired for Sirius. So, assuming I want to make her happy in light of her buying me Heresy for Christmas,;what make/model do I get, and which vendor for the install? I've seen DIY kits at Sams, etc.; but I want the installation to be clean without any of the dangling wires my fellow faculty seem to endure. What do I get, and where do I get it?? Thanks as always!

Klipsched with Yamahas Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 I have NEVER had any good luck w/CC or BB, and now ALWAYS stick w/local car audio installers if you want it done right. Many include FREE INSTALL w/purchase. Personally, I would check around for the best bargain. BTW, auto starts are HOT and have been for the past (2) years. Everyone here locally is slammed w/installs. Best wishes and happy holidays......now I need to eventually get a set of Heresy's too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdcarroll Posted December 12, 2006 Author Share Posted December 12, 2006 Thanks for the good advice!! I'll check around tomorrow. As to your holiday wish for Heresy - I just read an ad for a guy selling three (3!!!!) Heresy I's for 225 a piece. I'd be glad to forward the number if you wish?

Klipsched with Yamahas Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Thanks, but too close to Christmas......I wish! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2K Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 I never thought I would be willing to pay to listen to the radio. I guess we all thought that about TV too. But the XM satellite thing is making me reconsider. Especially playing thru the Bose 6 speaker/sub setup in my truck. Yeah, it actually sounds good. Good luck to you.

Previous posts have indicated disappointment with the sound quality of sat rad. If it has full coverage in the remotest parts of the country, and you do a lot of driving through such places, I could maybe understand, IF you had to hear the news instead of your own hand picked cd's.....

Klipsched with Yamahas Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Several of my friends have XM, and while it is very clean, uninterrupted music (or whatever your pleasure), in rural areas the signal does drift, and when it does it SUX! Kinda like cell phones before all the relay towers were put up to provide FULL range of coverage. I HATE DEADZONES (lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Ken I have Sirius in one golf car & XM in another. The content is about the same to me. Audio Express does really clean installs. They have locations in Searcy, Conway & Jonesboro...maybe others.

klipschaholik Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 I have XM in three vehicles and two home docs in the house. LOVE it. Period. Best thing since sliced bread. When traveling on the interstate you don't have to mess with fading radio signals every few miles and I actually listen to talk radio most of the time anyway. I never listen to the local stuff anymore. The audio quality to me is pretty good compaired to standard radio; just don't expect cd quality. Purchased all my gear used through Epay. If you do buy her a radio spring for the home dock too, it's worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear ya OB...never thought i'd pay for bottled water either. OR ,air for your tires at a service station, It's crazy, and the general public accepts it. Remember in 70's and early 80's you got nice,(decent) Radio's and stereos in cars, you don't anymore, unless you want XM or Siruis reception, then you can pay for a good unit.....................It's getting so you pay for everything....................yeah, HD-TV if you buy the unit, you have to buy cable or a dish to get the right broadcast signal.......PAY, PAY, PAY, what's next......................CD Players that charge by the play................DVD players with a coin slot to pay for watching rented movies..............
