Death to the salad eaters
I'd like a cheap deck to tied me over for a year while I compile and fabricate a carPC into my car.
Now. I'd like to spend $200 Max TOTAL. That includes shipping. Includes wiring harness. Faceplate and so on.
Because of this I was looking at crutchfield. For warranty, free shipping, and goodies. These are the choices there.
Pioneer DEH-P4800MP $149.99 * Green Display, im shifting my interior to a blue display so it will clash*
Panasonic CQ-C7103U
Pioneer DEH-P5800MP $179.99 * Red Buttons, Clashes with everything*
JVC KD-G820 $199.99 * Has USB! But it's f*$#ng Ugly*
Kenwood KDC-MP5032 $199.99 *Not Baad Looking, But not great*
Panasonic CQ-C7203U * I was highly considering this one * $199 shipped w ipod adapter and a $20 Mail in Rebate
Panasonic CQ-C7303U $209.99 * Too shiny/silverish*
Pioneer DEH-P6800MP $219.99 *Really nice, Too Expensive*
The thing I care about the most is 3 sets of preamp out, 2v+ Outputs, and a dark display. My interior is dark, My trim is dark. So no bright silver looking units. I'd also like Good MP3 playback. My older Panasonic in my jeep took forever to boot to a mp3 cd.
My choices got this muddled because I heard and read that the Panasonics have skipping problems when you have any real bass output. So what would you get
Any other choices that would let me get harness + mounting hardware and still stay under $200?
