What Receiver Should I Get?

[John_Abraham]

I just got a 2005 Ford Mustang. It's a coupe without any extras and I'd like to upgrade the speakers and receiver. I've done this once before in a 1998 Honda Accord and it looks like the procedure will be largely the same for my Mustang.

I listen to a lot of EDM and Dubstep so I'd like to get some kicking bass, but maybe avoid installing a sub. Would something like these be good: Amazon.com: Pioneer TS-A6885R 6" x 8" 4-Way TS Series Coaxial Car Speakers: Car Electronics

For the receiver, the only thing I NEED is Bluetooth (connecting both an iPhone as well as Android device). I'd also like for it to be a double-DIN, have a nice knob for volume, DVD player (only if I can use it while driving), navigation, and look cool with customizable light colors.

I saw Pioneer's AppRadio thing and that looks cool.

Also, I'd be willing to go up to around $400 if it did everything I listed above, but if all I can get is a double-DIN with bluetooth, then I'd like to spend a lot less.

Thanks!

It has 6x8 in the front doors and rear deck. I don't think you would be happy with just that for any type of low end, I wouldn't be. For the record, I have same year but a GT that has a Shaker 500 with 8" factory woofers in the doors. I tried to grow up and be happy with it, couldn't do it. Not bad at all for what it is. I Googled head units and there were a few. JVC KW-NSX600 DVD receiver at Crutchfield.com. Only a 3 band EQ, not sure how big of a deal it is to you. JVC makes a solid HU as well as Pioneer and Kenwood. As far as playing DVDs while driving it's illegal obviously, but if one wanted to, it's a simple wire connection from what I saw on the one I installed for a friend. I'm no expert, but maybe somebody else will chime in too.
