I've gotta buy a deck to replace the stock deck in my 2002 Mazda Protege. The Car's black exterior and dark grey interior, so a black-ish coloured deck would prolly work best.
I've been shopping for the decks that have mp3/cd AND sd card and usb support.
I've found the few models that interest me and wanna know if anyone else has an opinion between them...
Blaupunkt St Louis MP56

Out of the 3, I definitely am leaning towards the 3rd one (almani's), just b/c of the dvd-mp3-disc ability.
All of the decks sit within the "under-$250" range of prices.
I'm sticking with my stock speakers for the time being. In the future I might add a custom subwoofer. I fully understand all the technical stuff, but I'm seeking a simply out-of-the-blue type of opinion from anyone who's already tinkered with other or similar decks.
So what would you go for?? |

personally i think Pioneer and Kenwood have the nicest decks.
btw, if you're not familiar with it already, Crutchfield is a great resource when shopping for car audio. they might not always have the lowest prices but they've got lots of great information. |

yeah, lucid, crutchfield is great for researching to buy!
You should go for a CD player with an HD radio receiver, dude. |

| The last deck has a very low SNR ration, the first one has a very high one, I couldn't find any info on the 2nd one. I'd definitely consider this. |

Where did you find those specs?? |

Google :)
From what I remember the SNR was 80< on the first one and 98< on the 3rd one. |

| Almaniaudio will look much better in your dash. The more stock looking the better. That's probably how mine got jacked, all shiney and . And admit it, who the is going to detatch the damn faceplate every ing time you get out of the car. |
