Best head unit for $150??
I'm looking at upgrading the stock CD player out of my '92 GTA and am looking for some suggestions. I want to keep the price in the $150 range, and I want to be able to play MP3's and hook up my IPOD. Any suggestions?

I might be selling my alpine cda 9847. It was 180 new. I would sell it if i got a good price. But really i like all the alpine's i got and the cda 9847 can hook up to an ipod.

In new stuff, dollar for dollar you can't beat a Pioneer. Used, older Alpine, but the new stuff is keeping the prices higher on last years Alpine HUs, or any other quality name (not pyle, sony, dual,...).

Not sure bout the Ipod but Pioneer and Kenwood are my two favs. I'm lookin to pick up either one of those for my RS once its on the verge of getting on the road. I shop on crutchfield because they usually have better deals and give you wiring and dash kit free with shipping. I think they are shipping all headunits over 120-150 for free as well right now.

Well, I finally decided and picked up a remanufactured Clarion Pro Audio DX555MP for $97.50 shipped off Ebay. Has all the features I wanted, and for the price, I'm happy.

Thanks everyone for your input.
