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.

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!

I have the KDC-x595, has USB, aux cord, fm/am, bluetooth, blah blah blah, the works. Was like 170.

Another vote for Kenwood Excelon. I have an X997, freaking awesome.

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.

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.
