The only warning I have with getting a head unit, I have an 06 silverado and When I got my 180$ kenwood unit I had to buy the special wire harness that included the door chime and stuff and that harness was another 115 i believe. Im guessing you can find it cheaper but I was impatient and when best buy told me i needed that I just said screw it give it to me, but keep in mind whatever HU you pick out may become around 100$ more expensive.
what u mean harness for door chime and stuff?

if you leave it disconnected for too long your ecu will "forget" your throttle body position and your car wont run. i dont know what cars this pertains to but it happened to me and i have the vag-com to run a throttle body alignment.
so just for disconnecting my battery i have to pay for a tow and pay to get it rectified. and the only way i knew it was throttle position control malfunction was from the obd II scanner i had to buy ($60) because my car wouldnt run to drive to auto store to check CEL.
so if your do disconnect the neg. dont leave it off for to long...

the mentioned kenwood and pioneer have very similar specs, but the kenwoods display is Much better. it actually has a resolution/pixels rather than and old calculator style display
i can upload a photo screen saver into mine...

best thing since sliced bread...

I used birch for my last build and I'll be the first to say I'll never used MDF to make boxes again.
1: It's significantly lighter. and like it was said, When you build huge boxes by yourself, it matters.
2: It's much stronger. MDF can't compare in rigidity to birch of the same dimensions.
3: I find it easier to work with as I have a garage full of tools designed for real cabinet grade material, not pressed sawdust.
4: SAWDUST. MDF dust it super light and floats around all annoying like. The birch dust is heaver and makes nice little piles that makes you feel like you accomplished something.
I do carpentry as a hobby so I have a shitton of tools I would never touch with anything less than something I'd put in my own house.
When I did my build in MDF it took forever for two of us to get two sheets of that heavy shit in the back of my truck and dropped one corner destroying the ENTIRE corner of that sheet. The two sheets of birch I loaded myself.
Yes, MDF is smoother and finishes a lot better than the multi-ply birch so I'll probably be using it for all the pretty work but for skeletons and boxes birch is worth the extra $20 a sheet anyday.
Just $.02 as an experienced woodworker.
My next build I'll be custom making a lot of interior pieces out of random fancy woods like ebony, cherry and white oak. Should be sick.
was pondering using cherry for a boxbuild i wonder how dif. it would sound...
