okay, now one quick question, do you think those speakers i currently have, are good enough to sound half-way decent, if i get a better head unit?

If i can, just to start off, i may get a new head unit, and just keep my current speakers, but i want to know, will it will sound any better than my current setup with that cheap duraband cd player? or will the quality still be the same, as right now, it sounds f*ing horrable.

Roadmaster is horrible, lol..so the chance of them sounding remotely better with a new hu is doubtful.. but just as long as you know, either way.. you need a better hu and better speakers.. if anything... get a new hu.. you can always score some cheap speakers on Ebay.. or some other place.

Scarrell, i just added you to my msn and aim, can you please come online just for a few minutes, to help me?

Thanks.

you can buy the best speakers on the market, but if you hook them up to a cheap hu with a dirty signal, their gunna sound horrible. a new hu is a good place to start. once you get a good clean signal, you can better determine if your current speakers are satisfactory to you. 100 bucks can go a long way for a decent hu on ebay. happy hunting...

also, did you check out that premeir i recommended earlier^^

Once again the guys on here are right. Get a decent head unit first, add the coaxis in later. If you shop smart you can do both for under 250, and should more than happy with it in the end.

Yes, i did check it out, but it is a bit out of my price range, im looking for one for under $100 including shipping...

Can someone here please contact me via msn, yahoo, or aim?

Please contact me at one of the above, i would like a little help, and it would be easier to chat via instant messenger.

Thanks.

Ok now I understand your situation better and can probably be of a little more help.
For a cheap head unit try looking at this kenwood: http://cgi.ebay.com/KENWOOD-KDC-132-KDC132-CD-RADIO-PLAYER-NEW-06_W0QQitemZ140025792969QQihZ004QQcategoryZ94838QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
It is the bottom of the kenwood line, but will definately fit your needs.
As for speakers: look into getting a set of pioneers and if you find those are still a little out of range look into spl. Together this will not be a monster set up by any means, but for what you're looking for it should work for you nicely and still cost you less than $200.00 for the head unit and 4 speakers.
I know you don't have that much right now so start with the head unit as it will be the biggest improvement.

how about 108 shipped. panasonic actually makes a pretty good low priced hu.

or that kenwood^^

as for im'ing and what not, alot of these guys like to just come on here and give out advice at their leisure... im not saying it holds true for everyone, but i, for one, dont like being hounded with IM's asking a thousand questions a minute...

Ok, well i think i like the head unit on ebay, this kenwood one: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 0025792969

For what i need it for, it looks like it will do just fine...

As for the speakers, those will have to wait untill i get more money
