Pick a HU For Me.

[TomBrooklyn 10+ year member]

Sony bashing thread on this forum talked me out of my prior purchase decision so now I need to pick out another HU to buy.

It's for an old cargo van I'm going to use to do roofing work.

I was thinking of going with:

- 4 amped speakers. Maybe components up front.

- Powered subwoofer.

- MP3 capable. Will play my homeburnt disks.

- Aux imput for external MP3 player required.

- Good FM reception.

Price point?

The least expensive that will do the job.

I just shopped again and it looks like the Pioneer DEH-P4800 will do it for $139 at Crutchfield (with shipping and Dodge adapter plate.)I have a Dodge and they throw in the adapter plate.)

Maybe I could get some comments on that one? Anyone know if it will play home burnt MP3s good?

I just hope it will play all my home burnt MP3 disks.

There are no Walmarts around here and I don't want to get a HU on the cheap.
I am willing to pay as much as it takes to get the features I want, perhaps for some features I don't even know about that someone might suggest, and to get a high quality reliable unit that puts out excellent sound, has the proper controls, and will last for many years.

All I meant above is that I would like to find the best price for a unit that meets those requirements.

There are no Walmarts in NYC. I've never seen a Walmart.

Must be nice.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif I wish that were the case here where I live.
