Crutchfield is awesome for cd decks. All decks come with all the necessary wiring and kits for each car along with car install guides. If you end up buying from there and spending over 200, i got a 20 off discount referral. Free shipping too.

mmm.. probably can find something for 100-120

if you end up buying a deck at best buy, at least buy the kits from a place like crutchfield and install it yourself. its unbelievably easy. Best buy charges 62 bucks for the install kit. If your going to pay 100+60, might as well just get a better deck or mp3 deck with free kits from crutchfield.

go to BB and they'll have stuff in your price range and just tell them you'll buy it today if they give free installation

You have to say today though and if they don't agree, say you'll check back later after you go to CC

Best buy has a free install, but you pay fvcking 62 dollars for the install kit

Crutchfield.com has it plastered everywhere that you get all the necessary stuff free. If you dont beleive me, click on the button "add a car" input what type of car you have. Then put a deck into your shopping basket. Amazing, all the necessary install parts are magiclly added.

So if you feel comfortable doing SIMPLE wiring (which you should know anyways) then you save yourself 60 bucks on a frickin 100 dollar item.. No brainer in my book.

CC does not price match to online stores that I know of. In fact, I've never heard of any major retailers PM'ing onlines stores, and no clue what CC will pwn you with on an install kit.

But I could be horribly wrong on both guesses :p
