CD Stacker

[sri22m]

I would like to purchase a CD Stacker for my Astra.

I have been advise that I can get a FM modulator system for around $500.00.

Has anyone done this or reccommend something (outside of replacing the orginial system)

You still have the original blapunkt cd deck?

[sri22m]

yes, I do

[woosh]

any particular reason why you dont want to replace the stock cd player????


cause you can get a good mp3 player for under $400 these days, plus the fact that it can hold just about as much songs as you can fit on a 6 disc stacker.

I'd only use FM to connect from your stacker to your head unit if you had no other choice. Most small (ie: 6) stackers will fit in the bottom shelf of your Astra glovebox. And from there its not too far to the back of the headunit.

FM MODULATORS ARE A QUICK FIX.. THEY ARE GOOD BUT U WILL LOOSE SOUND QUALITY. SEE IF U CAN GET A PLUG TO GO FROM YOUR STACKER UNIT TO A EUROPEAN PLUG. HAD THIS DONE TO MY CAR AS IF I SELL MY CAR I WANT TO BE ABLE TO REPLACE THE SONY DECK BACK TO THE ORIGINAL DECK WITH NO HICKUPS.. SO I ASKED THEM NOT TO CUT ANY WIRES OR CUT OFF ANY PLUGS.. WHAT TYPE OF STACKER DID U PURCHASE.

OOPS SORRY ABOUT THE CAPS.

I haven't I just want a system that I can use more often, I don't spend that much time in the car.
I would appreciate some ideas, I like the idea from Cybulda (what system did you put in?)

I bought a new SonyCDX-850MP off Ebay for $534.00AU ($1100 Rrp) shipped from the US. And atached a Neo Car Mp3 Jukebox with a 40Gb Harddrive & left it with the normal speakers. Seems to sound fine to me.

With the jukebox u need RCA input on either your StereoUnit or plug it straight to an amp ( no sytem unit needed )

heres the link for the jukebox:

These are pretty handy as they come with a cardle it plugs into and via USB to your pc for song loading. but also has RCA output plugs on it so if u were having a party just plug the caddy into the cradle and conect the RCA leads to your home systems AUX input and there u will have 20,40,80,120 gb of mp3's playing randomly or playlist. how ever u want. theres no need to change cd's nothing

the prices are a bit steep u might think but i picked up mine Bramd New in Box for $550 off EBay also.

If anyone is interested in any of these items let me know as the dealers were large stock dealers and i might be able to talk them in to giveing me more at the same price.
