need speakers and radio...

so almost all of my speakers are cracked and it really doesn't sound too good and I have an old sony XPlod radio head unit that I really dont like. I don't really want subs just good sounding replacement speakers and a new head unit I like and I needs to have a usb/ipod plugin....can someone help? and I dont want to go for broke, I have money just not trying to get the fanciest thing on the shelf. BTW its for my 90 RS...

thanks Tim

I have bought from sonic and they are pretty good.

It all depends on your budget and what you want in a system.

Re: need speakers and radio...

Not sure how old your sony unit is but you can get the newer ones with the USB/ipod connect. Iv been using the sony for years and love em. All mine have goon through hell and back and preform perfectly everytime. The one in my toyota has been submerged in water, mud, bounced around on trails and never skipped or missed a beat. Had to clean it out a few times. Pulling the one out of my other truck today to put in the firebird. I used to run the Kenwood, Alpine and higher end equipment and honestly i had more trouble with them. The alpine speakers i just put in my truck 6 months ago have already gotten a rattle to them.

Re: need speakers and radio...

I just put a Kenwood in my car. It has a USB connection, charges and controls the iPod, and has a wireless remote. I only paid $100 for it. Put in Kenwood speakers front and rear for another $150. I have amps and a crossover that I had from another car. It's not gonna win any contests, but it sounds nice, and I need to do more things to the car, so I didn't want to spend a ton on it. Here is a link to the head unit.
