new cd player
Hey everybody, I know little to nothing about car audio. I was looking to start upgrading the sound system in my car. I was wondering if anyone can recommend any brands, or perhaps even models for a new cd player. I wouldnt be opposed to buying off ebay or some such place. The amount i'm looking to spend would be say 250. Thanks. Also if anyone could recommend a good company to buy an amp from that would be great as well. Thanks

Well to start, let me just throw out some company names for you
Alpine, Pioneer, Eclipse are all three that I would recommend. What options are you looking to have? MP3? Etc...?
For amps there are tons of amps out there. What would you be using it for? Subwoofer or speakers and how much are you looking to spend?

well what i'm looking for in the end would be a system with more of a rich, deep sound (i suppose sort of like a concert hall) than compared to a just plain loud sound. I dont have much use for a lot of bass, but i understand a subwoofer would be needed anyway. I'm looking o spend say 600 or 700 in the end i guess. Mp3 compatibility would be nice. I do plan to replace all the speakers as well, agian if anyone cold recommend a brand that would be great. The installation i can get done for the cost of needed parts, and a friend will build a box for the subwoofer(s). Thanks

Some good quality brands for a good price is Eclipse. But I honestly think the best bang for the buck would be to get a Pioneer deck. They would be great for your purposes. Pioneer P7600MP is a great deck.

how handsome I am
Friend told me Kenwood was pretty good
I bought this one on ebay for 355.00 shipped. Shopping around, it looks like it retails for at least 400.00 w/o shipping.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...750804430&rd=1
That link is for a used one - it'sgoing for 279 as of right now... cant find any new ones on EBAY though.
Good luck,
-Alex
