Hey guys, just wanted some feedback on head units, my budget is limited to $130 so keep that in mind, and I would like to keep it at Crutchfield, so I can get the free shipping and installation gear.
Here are some that I like:
Sony-DSX-S200X - probably my favorite, anyone have experience with it?
Alpine CDE-121
Kenwood KDC-248U
I plan on adding speakers later, so advice on that would be appreciated, probably just speakers, unless I get a real good reason to add a sub/amp.
I'm very open to suggestions, USB is a must, iPod control would be nice, but not a requirement, and its going in an 01 silver coupe LX with all black interior so a red theme would be nice.
1st post btw, bought my civic a couple weeks ago and stumbled upon this forum.
Thanks

get the alpine good sound and the most reliable of the three.plus the sony doesn't play cd's so you beat if you lose your ipod or forget it or it breaks you get my point.

thanks for the reply lowlife, I was able to get the sony for 100 bucks so I went
for it, but I have music on a flash drive and iPod, for a backup.
It should get here Monday, so now I just need some speakers, any suggestions?

I wanted to upgrade to the Sony DSX line for the longest time, Can't believe how cheap they are now.

Don't you have to spend 149.99 before tax to get the installation gear free?

I would have to say, the Kenwood KIV700 is one of the best single DIN decks around for anyone else considering a new HU.

Thanks man, bunch of good info in that post.

They lowered it to $119 and they determine the price before you add a coupon so I'm happy.

deffinetly get a sub...even a 10" 300watt sub makes a huge difference. depending on what kind of music you listen too of course if you like rock metal rap pop or anything like that id say get one...but i mean if your a country boy and hate every other kind of music just upgrade your speakers (alpines are nice quality).

I would probably get one if I run across a good deal, I just don't have the money for an amp and sub/enclosure right now, and I'm a rock/metal person btw.

If it matches the rest of the interior accent lighting, then I'm ok with it.
