Default Kenwood stereo HATES ME...

ok, it's pissing me off, i need a new one.


i want something tasteful with good quality.


i don't want crazy graphics or colors, or flippy face plate thingies, or retractable tv screens, or anything. just something to play friggin CDs


if there is something out there that with JUST a simple lcd screen, volume buttons, and a play button. i doubt something like this exists, but let me know...

the man said simple display and easy to use. alpine is a flashy feature laced headunit. this is simplicity at its finest.

I have to represent for Pioneer.

This is $129 retail, $90- 100 ebay. Never pay retail for a head unit. UPS should deliver my new cd player today, it has all those bells and whistles thingies that you want to avoid though.

Retail price- $380+ tax (9.75%) vs ebay $240 +17.50 shipping without tax.

For simplicity... honestly I thin JVC base models are DAMN simple, and most of the $199 and under Panasonics are great with SQ for average use and simple + clean

I'm going to agree on the Nak. If you aren't looking for aesthetics, then Nakamichi is the way to go. They make damn good products and their sound quality is great.

Alpines have always been pretty simple decks to operate. Go look at some Alpine decks.

SHUT YOU FACE YOU SHUT YOU FLIPPY FACE YOU SHUT SHUT IT

I'm going with the Pioneer DEH-1500. I did a small favor for a guy who owns a car audio place and he told me that pretty much the same internals are used in this unit as in Pioneers $800 unit, just without all the flashy features, like amps and stuff... you know, all that stuff that gets in the way of actually enjoying the music. and it's only $100.

CAN'T BEAT THAT WITH A STICK!
