What brand/model of car cdplayer should i get?
Well I have just finished setting up my mp3car player and it kicks much ***! ^_^
But now I have the problem of how do i get the audio from my linux box to the cars stereo. What I need is a stereo with cd player, aux in, etc.
Now I have no idea what brand to go for, I use pioneer as a general rule but there car audio is rather pricey for the fetures you get.
What would you recomened?
What would you NOT recomend?
I would hate to get stuck with a ****y stereo. So if you have any comments please post them! Thanks so much!
Luv ya,

Pioneer is only like 190 bucks for cd. But I hate pioneer anyway so I'd go with a blaupunkt. It rocks. Hey they are the factory radio in lamborginis so they can't be too bad

I would reccomend the Panasonic CQ-DF88. It has rear aux in, and is also a really pretty looking player. It's a bit pricey, but its worth every dime in my opinion

might I recommend the JVC KD-SX850. 45x4,changer control, two sets of outs, inputs, and vcr control. $200. im VERY pleased with mine.
Well despite what other people say, I think Pioneer is awesome. If you want a good price on a unit, you just have to know where to look. Check out these sites and you will find the best prices you can get without knowing someone who will give it to you at cost. http://www.pricegrabber.com http://www.iqshopping.com/index.htm
I would recommend the 4200 models and up. As for what not to buy, I would avoid Aiwa and (sadly) Sony due to the fact that Pioneer has the same (and quite often better) features for a fraction of the cost. Sony rules in home audio, not car audio. Aiwa just sucks for car audio. Have fun and good luck...

If you ask me, blaupunkt or aiwa. Blaupunkt for its awesome german engineering, and i recommend aiwa too cause i just got the 407 can am very pleased with it. (if you can afford the 507 model of aiwa get it, its much better than 407).....
IMO, pioneer and panasonic didnt know what they were doing when they made aux ins. Blaupunkt and AIWA rule for input.
99 ram 5.9 turbo
P4 2.0, MicroATX, Audigy2nx, Monster Cable / Alpine.
Coming soon: Indash motorized, 5.1, dvdrw, gps, bluetooth, wifi, and more!
Personally I would go with blaupunkt, my next choice would be a JVC (if you can afford them). I acutally bought an AWIA becuase of the price ($80 at bestbuy). The sound quility isn't all that bad but still I really wouldn't recomend them to anyone. I wouldn't fell right about recomending a pioneer or panisonic(audio anyway, video on the other hand) either.
Hey guys what u gone about ....
Where do you get all this weird brands??
Aiwa, Panasonic are so cheap here in Australia, cos no-one really buys them. People will laugh at you in the sounds comp's if you got one of those in your car.
You want the best, clear sound with a quality go for a Clarion. Very low distortion at high volume, inbuld X-Overs, EQs... you name it.
Sure bit pricey but only choice for competition setups. And works best with any in-car MP3 players. Most good models have a optional RCA input, this usually can be enabled by the small switch on the top side of the deck which will change one of the RCA outputs to be a RCA input, as simples as that.
Well just to let you know!

Yeah but if you are truly into competition audio, then what the hell are you doing with mp3's anyways? Mp3's only have at best a 90db signal/noise ration, while a good cd player is >100db.
I do agree though, the Clarion decks are very awesome... my brother has one and it beats the pants off of my JVC KDSX1000R (one of jvc's best models).

You are wrong.
The Dynamic range of a cd is 96 dB. This is because cd's use 16 bit samples.
(the dynamic range is the ratio of the loudest sound to the quietest sound)
Since mp3 also uses 16 bit samples the dynamic range is the same. The dynamic range is not (or only a very little) degraded by mp3 compression.
The signal to noise ratio must be lower than the dynamic range.
