Default So the stock radios suck, what have you put in?

Has anyone done a radio upgrade if so to what?
Second have you also upgraded the speakers?

And does the stock radio have any RCA outputs on the back ( amp outputs)?

Thanks...

I bought my car w/ a cheesy Pioneer deck in it already. Nothing special.
I'm not going to the DB drag races, so I could care less.

Just 2 speakers and a Pennywise CD. That's all I need.

What's the big deal with the Nakamichi and Eclipse brand? They seem to be the least flashy looking decks...

Exactly (especially the NOK ), however the sound quality is superior as well.
I like the Stock look , not these Stupid @$$ NEW Pioneer, Alpine, etc decks that look like a F-in circus in you dash, I'm not playing video games I'm driving.

Granted the stock unit is not as great as say a Nak, Eclipse or Alpine, but hey it already is an alpine isn't it? Or hey they used to be Alpines.

I have great older home equipment and have found that for quality music enjoyment I listen at home. For the road I think that finite sound is second to pure loudness that will overcome the sounds in the car itself.

Anyways, I usually find myself driving with the radio Off, if its on it's when I'm cruising on the highway and usually all the way up.

I've had cars in the past without radios at all, this car I just listen to the sound of the mechanics working and the pleasing sound of the engine making music.

Maybe it's just me? I'm kind of a purist so you can make any elitest comment but my Nakamichi is at home. Too bad NAD, Mirage and PS audio don't make car equipment
