New Head unit
What would be the best Head unit to get in your opinions for around $200 - $250?

Man I always compared jvc to like dual. I guess I have always been wrong. I have always been an alpine fan. Would you recommend that deck ryan? I to need a deck. But I am a sucker for good looks, and power.

JVC has been making some killer decks since like 1999...
They mainstreamed 24 bit DACs.
Everyone else was basically 1 bit DACs for the most part.
The SH-55 was a kick ass deck back then at a price that was sweet as it sounded... But this was before MP3's

i have had the same pioneer deck since april 2004. i had the face replaced 2 days after i bought it and it's been a champ ever since. so my vote goes to pioneer. i will be upgrading to one with a usb port on the front here soon.

Have to agree on that one. Both me and my wife have Pioneer decks in our cars and they work amazing. Pretty straight forward in use, and they do what they are supposed to. Pretty much anything from Pioneer/Premier is quality.

Kenwood KDC-MP538U, rear auxiliary jack, rear usb jack. I ran my ipod in my glove box and can control and run through all of my folders through my head unit. Completely customizable. I paid $110.00 brand new shipped. Retails for $279.00. Kenwood FTW.

Ebay.com is your friend if you know what you are doing.

Ok so the amp I currently have is a Sony xplod 600 watt. But I have two 12 inch pioneer subs so someday after I get the new deck I will upgrade the amp but for now it's that amp in which I will probably only have one sub pluged into that. And yes I would like the iPod functions, a head unit that I can control my iPod through it.

no. if you want touch screen, you going to pay a premium price.
if for whatever reason there is, its
1) stolen
2) garbage.
