you should know that mp3's don't sound as good as cd's on any
system... you would be wise to go with Kenwood.... the have been
coming back up and surpassing pioneer and even alpine.. there may be

there car stereos and alpine and pioneer have gotten cheap... all the
core car stereo shops i know have been slowly moving to kenwood over
the last few years, I think that speaks for itself.
