What head unit to get?

[onearmedscissor 10+ year member]

I have a 2000 Sentra SE and I just upgraded the speakers with Polk DB650s in the front and DB675s in the back. I'm using the 6.5" sub for now and plan on upgrading to a better one later. I don't have that much money right now so I want to just get a head unit, and I need one with an iPod auxiliary input jack. What one do you recommend? I want to spend about 100 dollars or less preferably. Thanks!

I have a kenwood 238 I think it is...has the aux input on front good sound quality and I have seen them for $75. Volume knob may give you troubles at first, it has different functions when u push it, and if not carefull while driving you may adjust preset eq and such on accident ,just till u get used to it. Overall it's a good low priced receiver....I'd choose it or Pioneer not Sony....

thanks, that sounds pretty good but what about this one: http://www.electronicexpress.com/product?prod_id=12740

it says it's supposed to be the newer model on one of the sites i saw, but i wasn't sure which is better. what do you think?

And what's the difference between all the cheaper Pioneer ones? Does it matter which one I get?

you have an ipod so i say get a alpine 9883 or 9881, they are last years model units but have full speed ipod connection and 3 preouts for you to build a system.

only difference between the two is hd,sat and bluetooth ready
