Need a new stereo for my car
So my car was broken into the other day and my deck was stolen. Talked to the insurance company and they're giving me $250 to spend on a new deck at wholesale prices which is about $300-350 at retail prices depending on the brand.
What is/are the best brand(s)? Any suggestions for specific models? (MP3 player is a must) Keep the price limit in mind please, I'm not willing to go over what the insurance company is giving me. |

alpine/eclipse for brands, but the head unit won't make too much of a difference in sound quality anyway. it's been a couple of years, so i don't have any model # info, sorry.
i have an alpine that plays cd's with mp3s on them, and the user interface is really good, but i usually take the source from my ipod now anyway. |

Also don't forget Kenwood and Pioneer.

Re: Need a new stereo for my car
They just came out with HU's that can control iPods with an optional $100 adapter. I just ordered a Pioneer cause all the places, from CircuitCity to Crutchfield, recommended Pioneer. You can get JVC decks that will accept SD cards for about $300. Check our www.cardomain.com for good selection and low prices.

A ghetto blaster for the backseat and a dozen rechargable Ds.

Re: Need a new stereo for my car
i used a headphone -> rca adapter and plugged it in to the aux input in the back of my head unit - ugly wire, but at least it sounds good. the fm transmitters blow.

Re: Need a new stereo for my car
mmm, forgot about nakamichi, though the one i had in my first car had a defect that made it skip all the time. i think macintosh was making a hu for a while too, but its most likely overpriced and really hard to find.
