Just for Information if anybody is interested in a small sound upgrade on there 406 estate or has any tips of there own.
I could barely hear fleetwood mac over the sound of the diesel engine :)
I bought an adapter for my 406 estate from Halfords to make a Kenwood single CD head unit I already had fit my 406 diesel, £35 or so (rip off, but necessary).
I also purchased two sets of fairly cheap replacement speakers, one set of
10cm for the rear and a set of 16.5cm for the front, both standard two way - 25 and 30watt rms respectively. (Originals are 15watt) The speakers are SONY, they are made for OEM replacement, so almost fitted straight in.The system sounds much better than the original, although I did have a little trouble getting the 10cm speakers in the boot, as the magnet is a little bigger. I ended up creating a 5mm rubber gasket using a silicon seal gun and paper!!!, the original grills fit straight over, with no problems though.
It cost about £84 in total because I already had the head unit, but it sounds like a £300 upgrade.
Does anybody know of a device to make the stalk control on the steering column work a kenwood head unit, or is it SONY only?
