[QUOTE="RSeb, post: 186743, member: 547544"] I'm hoping you guys can help me design a good sound system. I know next to nothing about car audio and I'm feeling pretty intimidated looking at the walls of head units, etc at Best Buy and Circuit City. All I really know for sure is that I want to play MP3 encoded CD's. And I want it to sound good loud across the whole spectrum (not just bass). I really like the Alpine CDA-7897 - mostly because it can display a lot of text (for MP3 tags) and the controls seems easy to master, but I'm willing to go with pretty much anything. I am completely clueless about amps and speakers. I have a 2003 Honda CR-V EX - with the stock sound system. I believe the stock HU is a double din (or at least a din + 1/2), we can fill up that space or not, I don't care. I am willing to spend up to $1000 for the whole setup (HU, amp, speakers, ??). Could you guys give me your recomendations?? I really need some expert advice here. What is the best combination of HU (MP3), amp, and speakers for $1000 or less? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
