suggestions on good stereos?

as i was taking out my set of 6 cd's for rotation, my very last cd got stuck! i tried pulling it out but it seemed to only make it worse. i took it to the dealer, and they quoted me 500 bucks to repair! wtf?

anyway, i'm sure if i take it to a local shop, they can do it for a lot less. does anyone know of a good audio shop around the east bay, cali?

i might even opt to get a whole new head unit instead if it's gonna cost that much. can anyone recommend a good stereo or setup?

thanks!

pioneer mp3 decks... very nice.. everyone has their own opinion tho your going to hear about 20 different answers.. if you have an ipod or something go with an alpine to the best of my knowledge they have the best set up for listening to it in the car

if you have a 2nd gen cl, i'll sell you my stock cd changer for $150+shipping. if you want to go aftermarket, alpine is the way to go.

I think for the price, features and quality Pioneer is the route I would take. Alpine is known for leading the industry with quality but of course for a price. If you want more features for your money than I would go with a good Pioneer unit, if price isnt too much of an issue then you can go with Alpine.

PM KahRupt and see if he still has it. It's a single cd, but one of the coolest HU. I have the same one without the CD. And a trunk mount changet ain't that expensive. Plus you can hook up a navi or dvd to this monitor.
I've seen this one, and he takes care of his stuff.

Happy hunting.

I used to have a Clarion and I loved it. I now have an Eclipse and love it too. Clarion is a very good value for sound quality. Never had an Alpine, but the name speaks for itself.
