BeAlLsTaR13 Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 well, my gf wants a deck for her stratus, so i figured i would get her one for christmas.. i was at best buy today and she was looking around and saw these: http://www.crutchfield.com/p_105KDHDR20/JV...tures_and_specs http://www.crutchfield.com/p_113MP242/Kenw...tures_and_specs http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Alpine+-+45W+x...;cp=1&lp=10 which of the above would be the best one? im looking to spend roughly about 100$ +/- a bit, im obviously gonna be able to get them for less than their listed prices, either ebay, here or other forums.. looking for new, but which would be the best choice? here's basically what is what we would like to have: -aux input (for ipod) not direct connection needed -cd player -at least 4 preouts (voltage doesnt matter tbh).. gonna end up adding at least 2 amps, speakers(can use splitters)/subs eventually or any other suggestions?

kingoftroy Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 alpine or kenwood. the alpine has usb for flash drive but will not read ipod off of flash drive you need to buy a seperate ipod cable http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Alpine+-+Inter...d=1218060803402 where as the kenwood can only do aux input but either one are decent.
