Ecost used to be good, but they have all off brand stuff now. Crutchfield is overpriced as always....

Anyone have any suggestions?

UPDATE:
I finally got sick of online shopping and went to the place I used to work. I picked up this guy for $119. Its pretty and it does the job.

I don't care about the CD player part, I want one with front USB. I found a couple models but was hoping there would be a site with more selection.

Crutchfield throws in nice things like instructions specific to your make/model of car and wiring harnesses and installation kits. I like J&R, but a lot of times the extras and customer service of Crutchfield make them worth the price.

Even better if you got a buddy that can hook you up with the employee discount.

I thought he was being sarcastic.

BB"s employee discount is only 10% off. I can get a lot more than that.

Crutchfield to search their product database and do some research, eBay to buy.

The new stereo I got last week would have cost me $250 more on Crutchfield.

Really? When I worked there it was almost at cost.. Like a pair of speakers retailing for $100 @ $30, head unit for retailing $150 @ $50. Maybe they changed it up (I worked there 8 years ago).

I always research on Cruthfield but will never buy from ebay again cus of paypal. SonicElectronix is a good place to buy as are many others.

If someone told you BB employee discount on car stereo eq is only 10% you were lied to.

I know its not nearly as good of a discount as I can get. When I was selling electronics the BB guys used to come see me because I could beat their employee pricing. I liked them because they always bought warranty.

I can do you one better - my deck has an SD card slot. Super compact! But it also has a USB port so I can plug a flash drive in too.

look into Hertz speakers. I got a 3way HSK for half the price of my 2 way focals and they blow the focals out of the water.
