Amp should be no problem, but HU might have due to signal, like Japan HU here have to add fm booster then only can use.

if install another fm booster, will it look complicated and is it expensive for that?

In my experience, ICE equipment in UK is quite pricey due to the VAT.
I came across an Xtant  4 channel amp in Sim Lim SQ (Edison) selling for S$780 (about RM1,850) which I think is quite a good buy, considering the amp is made in the States.

Totally agree with you, I found 2 website to compare the model and price between $ and £, wau.... the outcome is amazing.....

for example, Alpine PDX-4.150 is stated $539.00 vs £499.95... the numerical is not much different, but the dollar sign is a lot different shakehead.gif
