I was wanting some good reccomendations on headunits, I want it to sound good have good features and less than 300 if possible. Any Suggestions? And I was thinking of maybe a Blaupunkt or Pioneer.
Thanks in advance,
Matt

FYI if you get that Alpine from that place you won't get Alpine's warranty. I think about the only place that is authorized to sell online is Crutchfield.

I just want it to sound good and I will eventually add an amp for the 4 speakers and an amp for subs. So just good sound for pretty cheap. I kind of want it to be xm ready and to have the ability to play mp3 cds.

You can get the one I mentioned for just a little more though and greattttt features. Sure no ALPINE warranty but many places give some type or warranty.

I have tried a few, so far the Alpine are the best for your money but I currently have an Eclipse which I also recommend.
Just checkout their website eclipse (http://www.eclipse-web.com) very good stuff clear with 5v preouts for your amps and another thing they will replace the HU if it gets stolen.
cus on mine (cd5433) when you first install the HU it asks u for a cd and then reads it and ejects it.
If the power to the HU is ever taken off the battery then the HU will reset. then it will ask you for that same cd u had put in when you first installed it. so basically if any1 steals it they will not be able to use it.
