I want a new CD Player for under $200. I would prefer a pioneer or alpine. Anybody have any suggestions on the best. It will need a headphone port in the front face plate and maybe bluetooth?. Thanks

 

i dont know about blue tooth, but pioneer supertuner 3d is a popular and in my oppinion the best, its cheap, and headphone like headphone out, or line in? ive seen line in, i actually have a line in but never saw headphone out

 

ya I think he meant in. I'm interested in what you guys suggest too, because I need something like that for my sweet system I'm hopefully going to get soon.

 

Well I am a Pioneer fan but I looked at the ones at best buy and they don't really fancy me at all. I think I might get a Kenwood for for $180 i think other than that maybe a Alpine. I want to get one at best buy because i can spend less money since I still have a gift card from christmas lol. But they don't have much of a selection.

 

There is this one particular radio-I think it may be made by Jensen or JVC-that has Bluetooth capability and aux. inputs out back for an IPOD or other aux. audio device. I will look at it tonight and post up with the name and model #. It isn't a half bad radio, and I think it only cost like $120 brand-new.

 

I have that one in my car. . . Had it installed last November and still works like a charm. Best bang for the buck. I've run over many a pot hole, man hole cover, Railroad crossing and it's yet to skip a CD. And that's all I ever listen to.

My only complaint is cosmetic. . . don't fancy the green lighting.

 

I have a kenwood with the USB port on the front.......Dont use CD's anymore! So I can drive over anything and no skipping!!!!! Flash drives (thumb Drives, Jump Drives) are my new CD!

 

theres plenty of options for lower end pioneer, even wal mart carries several models that are < 200 dollars.

 

Alpine>Kenwood>Eclipse>Pioneer>Sony>offbrand ect....

You can get some good features from Alpine and Kenwood for under 200, but I would not bother with the bluetooth stuff. The add on reciever is an extra 125 and not really worth hearing voice through your speakers/subs. I wouldnt bother with Pioneer really, they are bulletproof but just do not have the sound quality that than alpine or kenwood.

 

Well I ended up getting a Kenwood for 200. It is very nice, when it works.

I need some more help...

When I use my CD player, in about 1 minute after i turn my car on, it does this thing where it basically shuts down and blinks PROTECT.

The guy at best buy where I bought it told em it has to be a problem with a speaker or two.

Is there anyway I can fix this problem without replacing my 6 x 9s and dash speakers? Please help me I need some tunes for this summer.

 

Do you know what the ohm ratings are on the speakers?

 

No, where do i figure that out at?
