AIWA or PANASONIC????

Hi all. I'm in need of another HU. I saw these two on crutchfield, both are $99, and all the reviews say both are awesome.

Personally the Aiwa has me right now, just because it has an aux input and i've been lookin for one, but i need someone(s) to sway my decision, here's the links:

Aiwa: http://www.crutchfield.com/S-sec4PKQUMU4/cgi-bin/ProdView.asp?g=300&I=055CDCX304

Panasonic: http://www.crutchfield.com/S-sec4PKQUMU4/cgi-bin/ProdView.asp?g=300&I=133C1200

Please let me know your opinions, i'm really stuck.

Thanks alot!

Save your money. Get something worthwile.

Dude, ever heard of a budget?

Well my budget is $100.

Therefore a $99 HU is fine for me.

If you have an opinion on either, i'd like to hear it, cause im stuck, like i said.

But if you dont have an opinion on either, i dont wanna hear aimless crap

I just installed a panasonic HU in my friends car and it sounds great. i dont know the model number off hand but it has a motorized face.

well i agree with others, you should save up, but if your dead set on one of those, i would get the panasonic, I had a few buddies that had aiwa's they skip horribly bad when you go over rail road tracks, or when your on a bummpy road, or sometimes the CD will just skip because it wants too, Go for the panasonic.

thanks for the input, i think i've been successfully swayed back to exactly at the middle, lol. The aux input on the aiwa really gets me though...

Definitely Panasonic...

Aiwa=Sony

pioneer makes some killer budget head units.

This is true... Pioneer would be a better choice than both (better skip protection and all).

i have never really had a problem with my DEH-3600, pioneer's entry level head unit. well okay I did but it was more my fault than the unit's
