Enrich the audio of your car's stereo system with this pair of Dual XS6533 speakers, which install conveniently in a door or rear deck. Each speaker, which measures 6.5 inches in diameter, boasts an anodized polypropylene cone woofer with a foam surround, along with a 0.5-inch swivel tweeter and a 0.5-inch piezoelectric tweeter on a swivel array. The three-way design produces a frequency response of 60 Hz to 20 kHz--far wider than the default speakers that come with most cars. Meanwhile, the dual swivels let users pinpoint the best listening angle for the high frequencies, which creates a more pleasing audio profile depending on where you install the speakers. Listeners can also boost the bass by adding a subwoofer to the mix. An added bonus stems from the speakers' "red satin" interior color, which is framed by a black ABS metal mesh grille. The vibrant hue adds a touch of smokin'-hot style to your car's insides, especially those with black seats and detail. Installation is relatively straightforward thanks to the included instructions, although owners with limited experience making car cutouts should consider hiring an audio technician. In addition, Dual recommends connecting the speakers to an amp with a power range between 2 and 50 watts (with a peak power handling of 120 watts), so car owners with extra-powerful amps should look elsewhere. The Dual XS6533 speakers come with a one-year warranty on parts and labor. What's in the Box Two car speakers, mounting hardware, user's manual.
Great car radio For the price this is the best car radio I could find. It has HD radio, bluetooth (adapter is only $29 to $40 - much cheaper than many), and Iphone/ipod control/display. Works great. Radio must be below driver when mounted in car to see information when in open position (no problem in my Saturn). Install was like any other car radio (it takes time). Nice Car stereo I like this one a lot. Installed in F250 4x4 diesel. Everything works well, sounds great, enough power, I can read the display in the daytime, bluetooth phone is clear - no feedback with input level setup right. HD is fantastic in this small-town semi-rural area. Motorized faceplate feels a little less than heavy-duty, but works great - I do close it before offroading. 8gb stick in USB takes a minute to read, then everything is good. Nice feature is input level settings for each mode, to level volume between them. I used to have the XDM6400 which had a couple problems. This one is a huge improvement!!! you can't beat this Hi Def stereo for the price I finally replace my old Kenwood CD/Stereo. I was looking for something which would allow me to play my Ipod and MP3 player as well as regular CD's and data CDs. I almost overlooked the Hi Def radio. This DUAL has it all and the price is great. I live on my boat so this is it for my music. I was using the FM transmitter that they sell to play MP3s thru the car stereo but it was horrible. The High Def stations are great and I am in an area where there are plenty of them sometimes as many as 3 to a station the clarity is unbelieveable. I am now going to get one for my car.

Again, I have only had it since March and we are just about to get into May so you make your decision accordingly.

Cambridge Audio Azur 550C CD Player, Silver
From Cambridge Audio

The new 550C offers mind-bending performance from what at first appear to be a relatively modest design. Indeed simplicity and purity is the name of the game with the Cambridge Audios latest CD players which deliver excellent dynamics, clarity and superb timing from music of all genres. Arguably the most important development is the introduction of an entirely new in-house designed servo solution. Whereas many comparable CD players utilise an inferior CD/DVD-ROM derived drive, the 550C takes full advantage of Cambridge Audios audio-only, CD transport which is coupled to our new highly sophisticated S3 Custom CD ServoTM. This third generation audiophile servo employs an all-new chipset and the latest double-sided surface-mount technology for ultra short signal paths with freedom from wire links. The net result gives the 550C extraordinary ability to retrieve maximum digital information whilst maintaining extremely low jitter; the digital noise that affects your listening pleasure. The 550Cs well-proven transport has been re-worked to facilitate even quieter operation and a new bracing mechanism (derived from the 740 Series) guarantees incredible rigidity. As with all Azur CD players, a high quality toroidal transformer ensures lower noise and less waveform distortion as well as incredibly quiet operation. With so much shoehorned inside, its astonishing how the new Azur 550C looks so elegant. In addition to a raft of sonic and environmental benefits, the new Azur range has a completely fresh contoured look with razor sharp displays and velvety smooth controls. A substantial brushed aluminium front panel, a seamless wrap-over lid assembly and dual-layer damped feet all adhere to Cambridge Audios rock-solid design standards and also help improve performance through superb resonance control

Caveat Emptor1
This is an update of my earlier review:

The Cambridge Audio Azur 550C CD player is attractive, solidly built and produces a sweet, gorgeous sound, akin to my highly rated CD player from the now defunct Califoria Audio Labs.

HOWEVER, the Azur 550C is unable to read about HALF of my CD-R collection...I get an error message and the tray opens. These are high quality CD-R's that I play with no problem on my other CD and DVD players, both at home and in my car.

The Azur 550C is a brand new model, and I hope my unit is from a bad batch. I have yet to hear from the manufacturer, but my retailer shipped me an immediate replacement, today. I will keep you informed of the outcome.

CAVEAT EMPTOR !

Additional information:

Cambridge Audio informed me that the Azur 550C and other Cambridge Audio CD players are designed to play CD audio files only (meaning CD-R's that are burned in the CD-DA format and have ".cda" files only. These are the files you would find on a CD-R if you burn an exact copy of a music CD). Cambridge CD players will not play MP3/WAV/WMA/mixed audio-video, etc files.

That still doesn't explain why the Azur 550C is unable to read half of my music CD-R's, all of which are in the proper CD-DA (.cda) format, and which are supposed to be suitable for this machine.

Chris5
Recently replaced factory speakers in 2000 Accord with aftermarket Pioneers (don't recall the model; 6.5" in front 6x9" rear) but the factory deck just couldn't push them loud/clear enough. If I bought a new deck I wanted it to integrate w/ iPod Touch. After much shopping around and almost settling on a single din Kenwood model, I found this on a random search for double din decks. I had looked at a few DDs before but the price on most was significantly more than I wanted to pay, and I really wasn't thrilled with the look of most of them. My requirements for a deck were basically just USB integration that wouldn't take over my iPod when I plugged it in (some models don't allow you to switch between Ipod control through the deck/through the Ipod itself) and possibly some sub pre-outs if I decided to go that route later on. This thing delivers on both accounts. As an added bonus, it actually looks really good, better IMO than any of the other DDs I've seen. Controls are large and easy to navigate, as I wasn't a huge fan of the button-less radio preset models that seem to be the norm nowadays. You can switch from blue to green back-lighting to match the interior lighting scheme on the dash, and the pre-set equalizer options offer good sound for a range of music tastes (there is also a custom EQ setting). Build quality seems excellent. Volume knob has a smooth yet solid feeling click to it during rotation. This was my first install, and after pulling up a how-to online on getting my old deck out, installation was a breeze, probably less than 30min start to finish. Ipod touch integration was seamless, and it was a simple matter of holding down one button to switch between deck/iPod controls. No comparison to the factory deck as far as sound quality. Everything coming out of the speakers was louder, crisper, just sounded better. I was surprised to see that there are very few reviews of this unit online, which sort of sent up a flag for me, but given its low price, brand recognition, and feature set I picked it up anyway. Only had it a few days, but so far I'm thrilled.
