Well now that I have my Infinty speekers in I want to upgrade a headunit in my car. I would realy like a Silver head unit with red or Amber buttons to help match the dash. Well it looks like the Kenwoods are fitting the build and they have some presets and adjustable setting for diffrent kinds of music. I am wondering since I am not going to add a sub or an amp what head unit or line sould I be looking at for the Kenwoods? At the stores they have all the head units to an Amp so I having a hard time trying to get what they realy sound like, but I am thinking of most likly going through Cruchfeild for this order. With Cruchfeild how is their dash kit with fitting into the car? I know it is black so I will have to do a repaint on it, but I just want to make sure it will have a good clean look. If you do know any other head units that fall into this please let me know. The Alpine line is my back up maybe but I am open to most good head units all but Sony.

Thankd for any ideas or tips.

Neal

Your head unit is out because I do not want to add an AMP. The other line the Blaupunk for some reason I just do not like the screws showing in the front. I have no idea why but that just turns me off on that headunit. Thanks for your help and doing the pictures.

Those are what I could find/recall. My choice would be the JVC SH9750. I love the real Aluminum faceplate and the knobs/button have a high quality feel. For the money I really like that deck.

Thanks I misssed those when I was searching and I do not know how. I like the Blaupunkt Casablanca CD51 and the Blaupunkt San Jose. I have to say I think the Casablanca is winning in my head. Then Crutchfield has a good price on both of them. Just wondering how does this line sound? I have never heard of Blaupunkt till a few weeks ago do to members here.

Thanks
