to meet all the requirements the budget probabaly wont work. if you take away the motorized option you can do it.

well the way i meant it is that the needs are things that i have to have on it, and the wants is optional that wouldn't hurt to have. I need 3 rca's and need mp3. it doens't have to be motorized but it would be nice.

DONT BUY A KENWOOD!! EVIL!! I upgraded from a Kenwood KDC X-869 to a Pioneer P80MP and I gotta say, this thing is SIIIICK. It made my speakers sound sooooo much better from the Kenwood, the laser for reading discs is a lot better on the Pioneer also, I don't get stupid disc read errors. Get a pioneer or an alpine!!

You might want to check crutchfield.com for options, but don't buy from them. Their prices are way too high. I just use them as a reference for products. Good luck on your search.

Crutchfield has the prices they have because theyre ASuthorized to sell what they carry. Manufacturers set guidelines and pricepoints for legit dealers to follow and thats what they do. Not many places online are Authorized for the majority of stuff they carry, hence no warranty.

Ok, this is for Don:

I decided to go with the 5425 . I found at a local eclipse dealer for 199. Same price that you offered it for so i knew it was a solid price. I'm going to get it installed on Sat I believe. I would love to not have to pay for it but the warrenty begs me to have them do it. I think I may be able to get it cheaper to because I know a guy who is best friends with the guy selling me the unit. I'll let you know how it goes. Anything I should know about the unit? Any help or advice would be awesome!
