New member Username: ConfuzionCleveland, OH Post Number: 5 Registered: Dec-11 | well im looking to spend about 300$ and dont really want to go over about 350$ i need a single din dvd player, usb port, (sd card also but this isnt a must because usb is good enough), seperate subwoofer plugs in the back would be nice if possible, and the most important piece would be a faceplate on it if possible id be willing to pay more for a radio with a faceplate because i live in a bad area. also around 200 watts or 50times4 in the radio would be good, or maybe 150 but rather have 200. i looked at a few on crutchfield and best buy and saw a few for 170 200 and 300 they all looked ok. i was big into radio stuff 10 yrs ago and now i have no clue what the recent crap products have been and what the good recent stuff is. i dont need anything competitive this is just for myself and the passenger |
