Will this fit my needs?
Hey guys. Another audio n00b here trying to figure out what he wants to do with his factory Bose. I know, I know 
My headunit died today and I refuse to replace it with another expensive Bose unit, so I decided I'll go aftermarket. All I need is a headunit and a wiring adapter to go with it, right? I just want something that will play CD's and do it with decent quality. I do not plan on upgrading the rest of my system at all.
So what is Aiwa like? Good quality? I'm liking their CDC-X304 headunit, because it looks like it will fit my needs (and I think it looks good). I was planning on going with this wiring adapter, since the site reccomends it.
I'm not looking to spend a whole lot of money on this, either. I plan on selling the car in a few months, but can't stand not having a stereo to listen to, so I have to do something about it. Please let me know what you guys think. Thanks for spending time listening to an audio n00b

STAY AWAY FROM AIWA
Go with an Eclipse CD-5425. All you need is the HU, wiring harness and antenna adapter. Also, an extra pocket to fill up the extra din space in your 4th gen.

I'd rather go with a 3 year Eclipse warranty over Aiwa's whatever warranty anyday.

The Bose headunit puts out an un-amped preout signal, the same way an aftermarket HU puts out a signal in the RCA form. All that is necessary is the correct harness, as in.
You could chop a pair of male RCA's and splice them into your speaker leads and be good to go. Nothing special.
