My MP3 jack broke on my stock radio, I tried to fix it but it didnt last long.  My frield stepped on my MP3 player wire and cracked it up form the inside....

I am probalbly going to just put in an aftermarket deck myself.  Since its a two din slot, how does a deck look in the spot?  Can anyone show me a few pics of there install?

Thanks.

Where'd you get the faux c/f center bezel? 

Sadly I don't have a changer to offer you, lol.  I was joking anyway, what I really want is an iDA-X100 so buying a diff radio would just make that take longer, tho having the aux jack till then would be nice RF transmitters suck lol.

I don't think I'll be making enough this summer to comfortably afford the wheels I want or the whole stereo system I'm planning on and have some left over for during school.  Should be able to at least get the head unit in though and maybe the sub if I'm lucky although I'll probably get new shocks instead if you guys who got the Monroe's see an improvement.

Well,  for a head unit... Alpine or Clarion are going to sound the best,  but cost more.

Pioneer makes a good H/U for the money.  

You could do a nice H/U for around 200, and another 200 for an amp for your sub.

if you wanted to go cheap...  or you could spend over a grand for the H/U...

I haven't had much experience with Clarion but I can't imagine it being much better sounding than a Eclipse. I'm a big Alpine fan and it's what I run in my truck but Eclipse also makes super nice H/U's. Alpine or Eclipse are probably the two brands I'd consider most. I'm a big Alpine fan. I also have a 4 channel Alpine amp in my truck and I like it a lot too.

Well,  clarion makes exceptional H/U's...   The SQ competition scene use a lot of Clarion and Nak for head units.  (but signal processors are really what do all the work.)

I plan to go Alpine when I get the money, if you don't want to spend as much I'd take a look at JVC's Arsenal line.  I've had very good experiences with them in the past, in fact the KD-SH9750 I put in my Chevy 5 years ago is still going strong in my dad's Ram now.  Gotta say I'm not a big fan of Pioneer, my friend has gone through 2 of them in 3 years, he's on his third right now and said if it breaks too he's never buying from them again.

Eric how would you compare Clarion against Alpine out of curiosity?

I like alpine man.  They have the best Ipod connectivity in the business.

SOund quality is superb.      JL and Polk recommend Alpine for H/U's with their amplifiers and speakers.
