Advantages: phat bass! Disadvantages: speakers are quite deep, so be sure to check your install depth available
I have a set of these speakers that I run along with a set of VDO 6" splits. I've tried numerous big name brands of speakers (Sony, Pioneer, Kenwoord, JVC), and these VDOs out-do all of them! The speakers provide it all, very clear treble and mid range sound, bit more importantly they have fantastic base. I found that with a full set of VDO speakers (6x9's in the rear plus the 6" splits in the front) running through a 4 channel amp I did not even need a sub.
Just be sure to get the HSP range (as opposed to the SSP's). The HSPs have the titanium finished cone and the full butyl rubber surround (this is an important part of these speakers performance). I actually came across this opportunity to write a review as I was scouring the net trying to find a set for my girlfriend, who now wants to kit out her Hyundai Tiburon with VDO speakers ...

Advantages: Isn't particularly atractive to thieves and has pleanty of security built in. Connects directly to steering wheel controls in most newer vauxhalls (02 >05) Disadvantages: Can be annoying to get the security code if lost, No midrange control.
equipment the VDO doesn't leave you without options, there is a single pre-amp output on the rear for connecting an amplifier to and also connections for an optional CD changer.
Security is provided in the form of a removable front panel and if the unit is disconnected from the vehicles power supply for any reason a four digit security code is required to activate it again. The front of the unit also incorporates a red flashing LED that comes on as soon as the keys are removed from the ignition.
Looks wise the unit is quite bland looking and is designed to be fitted to a Vauxhall as it has no display of it's own so therefore uses the dash display. The buttons have a solid feel and are laid out quite logically. The fact that it couples to the Vauxhall steering controls means that changing source, track, station and volume can be done ...
