Default Best deck for $150

I am running a 600 Watt Planet audio Amp and that is powering a set of Boston Acoustic FS60 Components and some Boston Acoustic Rears. What would be the best deck in the $150 price range?

look into alpine or pioneer. Thoses are the two best one on my list. Then find the one with the features that you like. There is not just one god radio. Both have entry level units in that price range

Here is a question:

Do I need Mid/High/Low adjustments on the radio? My old pioneer had it but I just got a clarion for $50 from a friend and it doesn't have these controls. I haven't had a chance to listen to the radio because I have the amp and speakers out of the car (making door spacers for the speakers and relocating the amp to the trunk).

For me the more adjustments the radio has the better. I would look into a radio that has a built in x-over. Eq thats has user adjustable settings. Most do now a days. Mut most entry level don't have thoses features. Now you don't really have to have thoses to have a nice system but it helps.

I'd definitely get one with EQ. Without it you're stuck with same old frequencies.

Ya for the 100-200 price range Pioneer is the way to go, and because of the commoness of pioneer you have less chance of it getting jacked. For the 200-300 range go with alpine. And if you wanna pay more than that...get a dvd/tv unit.

I hate to say it, but that is just a stupid comment

Around your price range I'd buy a kdcmp4032. Retails for $170 but you could probably talk the salesman down to 150. Has bass/mid/treble adjustments as well as 3 sets of 4v rca with independent x-overs on each one
