My budget for a new cd player is about $150 - 200, and these are what I've found. What would you suggest?

Pioneer DEH-P6700MP or the DEH-P4700MP if you don't care about the screen.

Is there any difference between it and the 4700MP other than the display?

Alpine CDA-9847, but if you can live without sub preouts, changer controls, and the optional remote, the CDE-9845.

I can live without the changer controls and remote, but I dunno if I need sub preouts or not. I plan on hooking up 2 10" subs and an amp, so is that something that I need?

Having sub preouts is nice, as long as the HU in question has a sub level control. Sometimes you want to change the bass level, and it's nice to do that from the front seat.

Not sure. The 6700 does have EQ-EX though. That does make a difference. It is always turned on on my 750MP. Also the OEL menus are very easy to navigate and use. I dunno how they are with the 4700.

If you're going to get a sub then get a HU with sub outs. Makes life much easier. With my 750MP I can adjust the sub level very easily as well as the low pass filter. I adjust my low pass filter every now and then depending on the song, so that's nice to have too.

edit: wow, didn't realise Pioneer got rid of their sub outputs. If I were you I'd get last year's model off ebay.

Ok, I think I am also getting 2 10" Alpine Type R's (or if you have any other recommendations), and what amp should I get to power them (that is not too expensive).

Pioneer DEH-P7600MP
and
MTX Thunder 421D

I have a pioneer and I love it (with 2 factory 3.5" speakers and 2 cheapo pioneers). Just wish my car was working so I can listen

 

[UglyCasanova]

Ok, I just bought this.

 

[UglyCasanova]

Alpine Type R 12" Subs

My buddy just told me that he will give me his box that fit 12's so I guess I'm gonna go that route. What do you think about these? And what amp should I get to run 2 of them?
