Default Which radio?

I've got two radios here, which one would you rather see in a 951?

OR

Oh and I finally finished my rear seat delete, the panel sits a little more flush after I messed with it a little bit. The carpet also matches better in the sunlight.

Personally, I would go for a Nakamichi, if you want seamless styling, and utterly amazing sound quality. I've never been a fan of JVC's automotive equipment, and Blaupunkts are only on par for sound quality. As for styling, the Blau is what Porsche chose...

Best Regards,
Ben

Well I installed the Blau, and it looks and sounds better, so the JVC is destined for my NA.

Btw what is the Blau worth? It came with my NA.

Put some subs in the rear seat delete I vote for the Blau as well so long as it has aux in, otherwise i'd do the JVC. Gotta be able to plug in an MP3 player.

How did you seal your box?
Are the subs in two different boxes?

I went with one of the higher end JVCs KD-R600 and the sound is okay (running 10 speaker set up with a low profile subwoofer).... Mostly the choice was due to the colour control over the display and a better dimmer than my Alpine (It was a real pain at night). I do see a Nakamichi in my future....

Its an MDF face with fiberglass molded to the tubs to seal it up, its 2 sealed boxes. pretty small volume too, like .5cu ft. I didn't build the box though, i scored it on ebay earlier this year.
