UPDATE: First of all, I have to report that I will not be starting a stereo installation business, my work on this one did not turn out as perfect as I would prefer. I got the scosche dash kit for the installation, and it seems like the Kenwood x301 was a tiny hair too wide for the kit to work...

UPDATE: Your Amazon.com order of "Kenwood KDC-X301 4.3" CD...". Thank you for shopping with us. You ordered "Kenwood KDC-X301 4.3" CD...". We’ll send a confirmation when your item ships. Apparently the x301 has a front USB input, and amazon has them for $85 no tax or shipping charge, and I...

The clarion seemed to give less for the money you pay - the $110 model had less RMS power per channel, only a 3 band eq and 12 dBf FM sensitivity vs 7 to 8.2 dBf for the Sony's, Kenwood's and also JVC's which I just took a peek at along with checking out clarions. As far as getting a pre-amp...

Clarion FZ105 digital media receiver - $60 at crutchfield and has SD card slot behind faceplate, plus volume knob instead of buttons. At crutchfield I can add the installation kit with car specific mounting kit, antenna adapter and wiring harness plug for $7.99. The only bad thing I saw was that...

hmmm, that actually could be some great information there, I never thought about moving past the CD era, but apparently you can do that. So, are these "digital media receivers" a good option these days? Do you have to have a usb stick hanging out of your dash, or does the receiver store a...

Hello All, first time poster, first time visitor here. Normally I post my car questions in car forums, but I thought I would come to the real experts for a stereo question. I'm about to replace the CD head unit in my 2004 Pontiac GTO because the volume knob isn't working right and I can never...
