I miss the old school single din stuff like pioneer iconic swimming dolphin. I wish they still made single din EQ

I had a deh-9300 with the swimming dolphin.

Probably not need to worry about anything. The price of electronics and related products or goods will stay basically the same. I don't think hiking a car stereo to $1000 for the average radio like Pioneer is going to happen. If they've got enough buyers and interested people and more, then that's enough to offset the price hike in goods and services. It will come down again. Not to worry about any price hikes taking affect as to discourage people from going into car audio.​

MTX prices are up on their website. Examples, 199 instead of 169 for the 8 inch powered subs. 499 instead of 399 for the signature series components.
