| i forget the model number but sony's are pretty good. although know this, i bought my sony about 3 years ago...maybe 2. the buttons on the faceplate are all messed up. source = turns it off, off switches the source..sometimes the eject button will work..and the volume won't always turn down. i really shouldn't have given my remote away |

I would never recommend Sony for car audio, and to be fair, you begin saying Sony are good but you demonstrate how bad their gear is... :disbelief
Most people just find Sony car gear to be substandard, though... quality is fine if you want eq'd pop clarity for factory or cheap 2-way speakers. For anything else, leave alone!
I'm running a Panasonic whilst I'm low on funds but ideally the lowest your budget should extend to are Pioneer's, and they make some excellent MP3/CD units.
If you can afford it, go for an Alpine. They're second to none, although they produce a very clean sound and as such some find it to be too harsh. I believe they're more for providing a clean source to seperate amplifiers which would then warm the sound.
All this, just opinion by the way! :tongue3 |

I bought a Clarion for around $300 CAN about 2 years ago
it is in a lowered ... very rough riding old VW Bus. It never skips.
I'm impressed.
My friend bought a different model similar to mine last year...he's very happy with his too. It's in a rough riding lowered Cabriolet.
I would definately recommend Clarion. |

The factory unit in my Pug was a Clarion changer, it was excellent. Only reason I had to go aftermarket was because the factory head had no pre-outs.
I assume Clarion aftermarkets are equally as good! :)
PS: Nice one on the camper, I love 'em. Wish they weren't expensive and hard to get hold of here. :( |
