5-6 bills you have alot of options. But why bother unless you plan on running an amp for your midrange speakers and upgrading all your speakers..othewise a bottom end Pioneer HU will do..it has 2 sets of RCA outs and 22Wrmsx4 internal amp.

If you want a fancy display get a Pioneer Premiere 840MP ..it has dual faceplates, looks cool..

Cheers
MOhawk

Junk gimick....overpriced...crud..[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]... Panasonic is pretty good..I wouldn't trust anything sony that doesn't C90 [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG] otherwirse..beh..

if I was you I'd much rather spend some of that on better front speakers.. an amp for the front speakers and get a cheaper HU

well if you're gonna run the speakers of the HU.. you can't go wrong with Cerwin Vega HED's Cheap, good midbass good sound work wiell with little power.. shallow mounting depth for easy install.
