And whats a student budget?

 

[dasaesthetics]

....200ish?

wrong answer?? lol

 

[C1500martin 10+ year member]

thats a decent budget for a single din. anything your looking for in particular? i just ordered the clarion z702 from crutch field for $120 and it comes with everything to install it saved myself $60 in installation parts for my 1990 c1500. i don't think crutch field knows they're offering it so cheap and giving the stuff out for free.

but what are you looking of in it?

I'm not looking for eccentric tools like built in siri and dragon assistance, just something I can play my flac files. Later down the road i'll invest further into woofers and speakers, but for now I can't even use the fm radio lol, and i'm definitely not using my sennheiser 650s while i drive.

what truck do you have?

if you buy from crutch field or sonicelectronix they throw in free installation equipment. hell of a deal if you find a nice HU you like for a decent price

difference between that and the clarion?

2000 chevy s10

Well the jvc i posted supports flac files. The clarion is a budget sq headunit BUT its complicated and picky when connecting speakers to it. I lt doesnt like 2 ohm speakers. Go ok crutchfield and sonic electronix and see if you like any headunits on there. Just stay away from anything thats too good to be true. Alpine, pioneer, and the higher end kenwood are your best bets

I would recommend the one I've been using for years alpines cde 141. I only spent 100$ On it and it does everything I need it to do, plug my iPhone in with usb and play music while charging it. I think it's only 2v preamp output, but whatever, just turn gains up a tad more. Anyways, the headunit works for me //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

For 250 new on eBay. You can get a pioneer deh-prs80 which is pretty much the best single din head unit around under $1000. If your planning on upgrading in the future for speakers and amp. You want the pioneer. Full crossover control 16 band equal and extremely clean sound quality. That or an Alpine but **** alpines IMO.

Plus 1 for the DEH-80PRS. Plays flac files and 5 volt preamp. I love mine. I'd say bump the budget up a bit and go for the pioneer

Does bluetooth, aux, 2 USB inputs, cd, and reads up to 32gb SD cards.
