NolFrank97 Posted August 9, 2014 Report Posted August 9, 2014 What is a good head unit for under $120? I have a 2000 F150 and want to put in an aftermarket head unit, and would like some suggestions on some decent ones for under $120.
philrab Posted August 9, 2014 Report Posted August 9, 2014 Define decent. What do you need/want out of the head unit? 2015 Toyota Tacoma Build Thread 2007 Mazda 3; 5000K HID's, Kenwood Excelon KDC-X997, Infinity Reference 6.5 comps in front and coaxials in the rear doors, JL 320.4 four channel, Rab Designs built ported enclosure with an SA12, Kenwood monoblock, Redline Leater shift boot/e-brake boot/center console cover, JBR short shifter/shifter bushings/rear motor mount. Build Thread 1996 Mazda Miata: Kenwood Excelon HU, Alpine speaker in the doors, Clearwater (miata specific) headrest speakers. 1994 Mazda Protege: Kenwood Excelon HU, Infinity Reference 2 ways all around, 2x RF Punch 10's in ported boxes.
NolFrank97 Posted August 9, 2014 Author Report Posted August 9, 2014 I want it to have good AM/FM radio reception, some adjustability with EQ, preferably Bluetooth (if not, I won't lose sleep over it as long as it has a USB port), and preferably made in the US (or at least somewhere else than Asia).
ChevyBoy95 Posted August 9, 2014 Report Posted August 9, 2014 Made in the US...... not gonna happen, HU's are basically china made only now-a-days. I have been very happy with my Kenwood Excelon Series HU.

NolFrank97 Posted August 9, 2014 Author Report Posted August 9, 2014 I'm very impressed with the Kenwood Excelon KDC-X597. I think I have found my new HU. Thanks a lot for the suggestion Chevy!

philrab Posted August 10, 2014 Report Posted August 10, 2014 Another vote for Kenwood Excelon.

hispls Posted August 10, 2014 Report Posted August 10, 2014 I want it to have good AM/FM radio reception, some adjustability with EQ, preferably Bluetooth (if not, I won't lose sleep over it as long as it has a USB port), and preferably made in the US (or at least somewhere else than Asia). Naught for nothing, but people thinking they're going to buy a good HU for 100$ is the reason we don't make them in the USA. In fact I can't think of more than 2 that ever were made in USA.
BigManAC Posted August 10, 2014 Report Posted August 10, 2014 I know a lot of people run Clarion CZ702 but I can not remember how much they are. I bought my Sony HU thats in my sig for $100 and it has bluetooth, usb, aux, and some pretty cool customization options color wise. The only thing is that I wish it had 4v preouts. 2001 Saturn L200-Sony MEX-BT4100PFRONT STAGE:- (4) Crescendo PWX 6- Cadence XA250.2SUB STAGE:-Fi Audio BL 15 (Sealed Off)-Crescendo BC2kELECTRICAL:- Singer 240A alt - XS Power D3400- SkyHigh OFC power/speaker wire- Big 3 with SkyHigh 0gaugeBuild Log: Click HereScores: 146.5db @ 29hz Outlaw
