stereo options

[RSX302]

Thanks for the input. Thats seems to be the best option. The am stereo conversion to fm and a nice head unit is about $260. Whats a good brand of speakers? Should I keep the 2ways or go with 3ways? I really like the looks of the alpine deck, is there better ones for less money? I don't want jvc, the last one I had was junk. I don't mind spending $500 or a little more on the system.

Alpine is good stuff...I've had issues at one time or another with a lot of top brands. Go with what you like(features,looks ect). I currently have the Clarion DRZ9255 which is a $1000 unit, and it even had an issue, but it’s all good now. Very nice piece. (Sound quality Rocks!)
I just stay away from too many mechanical goodies. More stuff to break...

Speakers are one of those items you will need to go to the local stereo store and listen to some. Brand is not a major concern. Some like a lot of highs, I for one like it mild and clean. Everyone has a different ear. Go with 2 ways coaxial in the front. Better choices...also remember about speaker efficiency...

I chose the CDT Audio HD series speakers because of the quality, sound and efficiency for the money. Not cheap but a whole lot cheaper then what I really wanted. I was looking at a set of $2500 front speakers. Then reality hit.
