What about Alpine?

 

[evilmonkeyMSP]

I agree, I love my Kenwood. Thats why I bought a second one awaiting install into my P5

 

[Chiguy_2002]

How about Eclipse?

 

[Jeph]

Sony sucks, go with a Alpine deck.

 

[FrigginGLI]

Love that new eclipse.

I have always been an Alpine fan......

 

[chuyler1]

Mmmmm Clarion...

Mmmm Pioneer...

Alpine's are always nice. kenwood is my 2nd fave. Just bought an In dash dvd player from them for me expedition and it has a few quirks though. Circuit city doesn't carry anything nice anymore. I think they screwed up when they got rid of Alpine.

 

[ChopstickHero]

the higher end Pioneer line is good. Alpines always look nice.

 

[JCell]

Pioneer FTW!

I ended up getting a Panasonic 9701 and get this....i got it from CRUTCHFIELD !

yeah usually there prices suck but it was only 20 bucks above ebay prices which shocked me...not to mention free shipping free harness and radio kit

not too shabby still miss my kenwood tho RIP !

Dude sorry to here about your recent theft. I'm brand new here and not to good at this stuff but I'll give it a try. This is my very first forumn and response to anything so please bare with me. I just purchased a 2002 Protege Sedan a couple of weeks ago and am in the middle of putting together a half decent system for it. I don't know what year or model you've got but I have to agree with you regarding what some of these decks look like these days. I've got the double din factory unit in my Protege now and I'm quite fond of the gorgeous red lighting on the dash which matches the radio.
But I do want a better sounding system so I did some leg work and found a couple of Clarion units that I think will compliment the interior nicely. If you have the same dash as mine with the sort of aluminum trim side pieces that go down both sides of the radio section then these two units will should do a fine job cosmetically, this being for two reasons. 1) the unit is designed with the two ends made of an aluminum face plate and the rest is black. The face plate is oh, I'd say probably 60% black and 40% aluminum. Basically what is in the car now is the same kind of look. Now remember the lighting of the dash and radio that I mentioned that I liked so much? Well either one of these decks have a feature called Variable Colour LCD which will allow you to match the EXACT colour of the OEM dash lighting. These decks also have a ton of other features but these two features were the main reasons I purchased this Clarion head unit. If your intrested go to www.clarion.com and look up unit #'s DXZ755MC and DXZ655MP. Once again sorry for the breakin man, I don't know if this helps you look for the deck you want but I can't believe I acctually posted something. I guess there's a first time for everything, I'm real grateful for being a new member and a part of this forumn. I think you guys are doing a wonderful justice for all involved. Thanks.

Yea i have to agree that pioneer deck looks like ass. I have an AVIC-N2 on the way (easy as **** to bypass so you can watch dvd's and use nav while driving) that i got for 899. Right now i have a Pioneer Premier DEH-760.

We just get them in this week. THe 480mp has damn near every option anyone could actualy want for only $180.

You do know that you can't trick that unit with wiring right?
Also keep in mind that you can not have a NAV disc and a CD in at the same time as the unit only has one drive for everything. Alot of people overlook that.
