Yeah, save for a decent deck and a set of coaxials...

In fact, wal-mart usually has a deal a month or two before christmas where you can get a pioneer deck and 4 pioneer speakers for around $99.99.. It's probably not the best sound set-up, but for the price its the best you are going to do... Plus you can put it in layaway and make payments if you have too... :happy055:

Oka fter reading all of that.

The one seller, X sounds looks to be a decent guy who wont lie to you, Im looking to buy an Eclipse amp thru him.

Now for a radio.

How long ago did you buy that Durabrand?

I advise taking it back to Wal Mart and just say it stoped working. Now while your there, they have a VR3 deck for $80 and Ive REALLY thought about buying it on 3 occasions now. I played with it on the board at one (The other 4 around here dont have it on the sound board) and I gotta say, Im kinda liking it. Cheap, functionable and sounds decent.

Like I said, Ive looked into this radio and Ive thought about it, but I ended up buying an old ALpine like I used to have in the late 90's...

If you try to buy everything at once and just get crap to put in, you're going to waste your money, just like everyone else said. There's no way to make a decent system unless you build it up over time. Start with your source unit since if nothing good is coming out of that, nothing good will come out of anything else in your car. Next, get some decent speakers. Then get an amp for your speakers. Then sub and amp, processors, etc, if you want to go that far. There's no other way to do it man, take it from all of us.

Wow, thanks for the links to that HU... walmart is holding that unit for me now, and i will be picking it up tomorrow :happy055:
As for the speakers, i currently have roadmaster for the speakers in my car, and seeing that stereo is roadmaster, im going to see how well my current speakers preform with that HU, and if it sounds good, ill keep them for the time being, if not, ill save up my money to replace them.
I was realy thinking about getting that kenwood, but i like that walmart one better, and i love the USB and SD Card Slots, as i am a computer geek, those would realy come in handy :D
