I've always been partial to Clarion or Alpine 🙂

Eclipse 3414 ($200 for the unit, install it yourself).

You don't have many options for under $200 installed. For that price range, the Pioneer DEH-4600MP is your best bet, probably around $150-170 not including wiring harness.

Alpine CDA-9826


It's $229 but if you've never ordered from them you can probably get a $20 off coupon from someone. Plus the shipping is free and they give you the installation gear.


There is also the Pioneer DEH-7600MP. I have it and it's great.

what does moving on up in the price range get me?

EDIT: i need VBR playback capability, if i have to drop more money for it i will.

More functions, more preouts, etc.

Sound Domain - Cheaper and better than Crutchfield..Plenty to chose from. Install it yourself, and you'll feel more like a man. 🙂

Cheaper maybe. I've bought from Sound Domain before and they're not bad but Crutchfield's customer service is second to none.

word of caution from their 105% price guarantee... I submitted a price match with sounddomain against thezeb.com price and they said I didn't qualify for whatever reason. But they still gave me $10 off. Well once I applied that $10 off, it made the "free install/harness kit" no longer free and it would've cost me even more. I would've said fug it and went with another seller but they still came out to be the best one-stop shop. I just went without the pricematch price.

The same unit I bought at sounddomain came out to be $70 cheaper than crutchfield.

WRONG! He's asking for recommendations. That does NOT belong in FS/FT.

Oh, and quit encouraging those simpering pussies to come north of the border. We don't want them either! 😛

The Premier 760 is a little over $200 but it's got a 2 year warranty and comes with a few more features. Including a steering wheel remote....
