As some of you might know, Subaru's sound system is bad, REALLY bad! I can stand it no longer so I am in the market for a new deck and speakers. I will not get a sub right now but will in the future. Unfortunately I know little about decks and speakers. Apline seems to be the deck of choice here but where does one go to get it? I got my alarm done at Future Shop (thanks John) and had planned to go there or to Derdall Designs, which seems to be going through a change right now and are a little hard to get a hold of. I have the patients of a gnat and once I decide, I go and get it that day.
So, I've looked at the JVC KD-SH1000 and the Pioneer DEH-7800MP. Price is not really an obsticle but I did want to keep the deck under $600 if possible (not including install). I am looking at the Infinity line of speakers. I am looking at the JVC line only because of the USB interface, assuming it can handle my iPod shuffle. If it can't, I'm not really interested.
Opinions? Comments? Suggestions? Good or bad.
Thanks in advance.
