well the initail excitement from getting my new bird has died down a bit and now its time to get to buisness and upgrade. my 350 is on the stand waiting for me to build it but thats my winter project. as for now im wanting to get a head unit. i saw this one at wally world for like 80$. its something called "xtreme sound". never heard of it. im not planning on subs or anything radical, i just want a nice cd player and maybe some 6x9s. will this work? any ideas? thanks

 

Will it work? Yeah. Is it any good? No.

 

lets put it this way, the only things i will buy from walmart's car audio section is their wiring harnesses, amp wiring kits, and headunit mounting kits. $25 for a 4ga kit, heck yeah i'm buying em. have 1 or 2 extra around here just because i can. just gotta figure out what to use all my 4ga on.... stay away from anything else unless you need some cheapo speakers to put in your car before you sell it ($20/pair aint bad for cheap stock replacement)

 

well then whats the cheapest head unit thats actually worth the trouble? they also have some pioneers that i was looking at. wally world or not, a pioneer is always a pioneer. and i know theyre good. so what else do you guys think?

 

Jim, don't beat around the bush...tell us what you 'really' think....

j/p....

 

i have good luck with Pioneer,Blaupunkt,nexxon to name a few when i discuss decent lower budget decks with my customers..Let me know if I can help 'cause I have a few..

 

subzero,

thanks man but i need it today so i can take it to my lake house. 12hr drive. otherwise id always be happier to do buisness with a thirdgen.org member rather than some store. thanks anyway

 

screw it. i just bought a kenwood. not a bad deal for 129.99 installed. of course i did the install myself but still it was a good deal. sounds great too. thanks anyway guys

 

hehe, that 4 gauge is my "little secret" when i do installs, normally 4 gauge is at least 1.50 a foot, that little thing comes with a distribution block, fuse holder, and 2 pair of rcas, they are crappy rcas, but they work.

now i dont understand why they dont give you a couple of feet of 4 gauge for a ground though.
