Will this pair be a good combo? (MEX-N4150BT + XS-FB1630)

[Sharif]

The reason I am going with sony products is due to warranty availability and lower prices compared to other manufacturers which include Bluetooth (I am looking for a receiver with Bluetooth, the local market is mehh here) and regarding the speakers, they seem to have a positive review on Crutchfield and again cheaper.

Converted prices

16cm/6.3/4 - XS-FB1630 - 30$

Head Unit - MEX-N4150BT - 115 $

Obviously, I ain't expecting an amazing audio upgrade. This is just for features I am missing and replacing the mehh speakers on the front 2 doors to get an up on the overall missing lows, the highs are pretty fine on the current stock speaker though

One more thing can I just use insulating tape to cover up the solder work?

Shrink tubes aren't readily available at stores here and places that have it cost a pretty penny and issue with eBay is the shipping time.

The speaker you mentioned seems like it's the older model of Sony XS-FB1630 (according to Crutchfield) so they should be identical audio wise but that deck cost 189$ dollar here which is a bummer. Can you tell me where you got the deal?

I have gone through their website, the price combined with shipping (If it's available, to begin with) will be higher than buying it locally...

Check there eBay Store.. I'm telling you there prices are hard to beat.

They don't ship SA it seems, even if they did the shipping would cost a whopping 50-70$ (Knowing the weight and all)
