Specs:
first of all, welcome!
i live in belmont and go to school in Menlo Park. I may have seen your SVT recently, were you on el camino near blockbuster and ralston yesterday? Also, I saw a black one today in redwood city. 2 svts in two days!!!
anyway, here are some suggestions:
1. frys is currently selling the sony cdx-m6000 for 249.99 (its usually 349.99) look at the post earlier in this same forum
2. another option is buying from
www.ubid.com : i got this complete system for $611 (msrp 1200+!) new w/warranty
a) jvc el kameleon lx-30 hu (179)
b) rockford fosgate fnq1514 component system (129)
c) rfosgate 6x9 3-ways (45)
d) 1 farad capacitor (34)
e) 5ch 800w mtx amplifier (189)
f) 12" rf sub (35)
this is a really good system!! but if your just looking for some basic upgrades you can get it at ubid too and pay less than 250!. the best thing is that unlike other internet sites, ubid.com gives warranties thru the manufacturer. before you bid make sure u check whether its new or refurbished
as far as installation, im in the same boat as you. here are some places im thinking of:
1. good guys (just install, don't actually buy anything from there...they rip you off), monney car audio, auto sound and securtiy (smaller shop)
hope this helps, welcome to the group!
