I'm getting kinda tired of my stock in-dash cd player and i want to upgrade my sound system. I'm trying to figure out how to best use the wonderfully large double-din thats so popular our japanese cars. here are the following options:
1. decent single-din head unit and a single din 6-disc mp3 cd changer.
2. again, 1-din head unit with something like a 12 band eq right below it.
3. just the cd-player and a silly little storage space.
4. if someone handed me $1300 the Pioneer AVIC-D1 (http://www.crutchfield.com/S-hWsDl87Ym8F/cgi-bin/ProdView.asp?i=130AVICD1)
5. A double-din head unit that looks cool and doesn't have a freakin tape player in it.

now, price is of some concern but I want a clean and great sounding system
any suggestions????

Option 5: Single DIN head unit and 03 Forester DIN pocket

I've got my HU on top and the pocket below it. The pocket is pretty small but can hold CDs; I keep my remote control for my head unit up there. I guess you could keep all sorts of stuff up there mainly it just cleans up the install.

For the price of the Pioneer AVIC-D1 you could build a car PC.
