Are you okay with going ebay? I got my sis a $600 dollar cd player for $220, and a XM tuner came with it. If you go to http://www.alpine.com they have prices for all their cd players. They have a nice one for 315-330 I think.

Not a big E Bay guy to be honest with you but I'll check out the Alpine site mentioned. Any good models from them or Eclipse, or even Pioneer greatly
appreciated.

My sister's CD player is the Pioneer MP9000 I think. It has two "faces" It's really nice. You really can't go wrong with alpine. Stick with the ones that can play mp3's tho. It's real nice to have about 4-6 cd's on one. As for eclipse, I'd say the say same thing. My girlfriends dad has an eclipse cd player,3543, or 3553.

It's about 3 years old. Soild HU. I never really liked the looks of eclipse tho. If you are gonna be running multiple amps, go with a HU that has 3 outs. Front/Rear/Subwoofer. That will give you a lot of control over the system too.

I like the JVC Arsenal line. Find the one in your budget. Good decks, excellent features, excellent sound and the right price...

i really like the eclipse decks especially the higher 8000's models. JVC arsenal are also good decks and so are panasonic mxe i havent had any trouble with those yet and i sell them. the MXE is supposidly the least likely to break.
