Tunes for the new car
Need advice for some car stereo things from my new civic.
It has a shitty Sony Xplode stereo now with a 6 disc cd changer and stock speakers. I think they're 6 1/2" in the doors and rear. I want a head unit that I can plug my iPod into since I don't use CDs anymore. What should I buy? Keep it within 300 bucks preferably. I'd rather not get a sub, so keep that in mind. |

1) Go to ghetto
2) Find pawn shop 3) Whole system under $300. Taddow, how ya like me now? O0 |

You don't technically need one that has a headphone jack on the front, just RCA inputs on the rear. Get a cable that converts that to a headphone jack and run it out the front. Works great for me.

Re: Tunes for the new car
I had an iTrip once and it sucked balls. I ended up buying some Infinity Speakers and an Alpine deck with an iPod attachment. Never have to remove it from my glove box :)

I would recomend Kenwood decks. you can get Reman's from amazon for dirt cheap. Im rockin a color screen excelon 700 something or another and it ------- rocks. had it for about 2 years and never had one problem with it, does have aux input for disk changer or Ipod, will play MP3 cd's, HD radio, and has a wanna be gtech in it. Mine tells you how many G's you pull under acceleration and cornering. I wouldnt buy the deck cause of the wussy G meter thingy but its a cool feature.
I think its this one. http://www.amazon.com/Kenwood-eXcelo...897772&sr=1-11 |

You should look on Craigslist. I have seen MANY good systems lately (subs, amps, and cd player combo's) for less than 300 |
