well im gonna toss a head unit in my 95 gt. im partial to panasonic and pioneer. I am not looking for show-winning stuff, just good sound. I don't want to spend more than 200 bucks. MP3 playback is not a necessity but it would be a bonus. can anyone point me in the right direction?

Panasonic Head Unit
This is what I recently bought - it retails for 240 as you can see but I got mine for ~180 shipped new off eBay. Installed it myself, it was pretty easy - I recommend it! Actually, here is a link to a current auction by the same company I bought mine from: eBay link Shipped it out fast and was in perfect shape!

Alpine is one of the best yeah for sure... but it is fairly expensive. I got a sony Xpload deck mainly because it was extremely cheap, and had lots of pretty colours

I would just like to point out that he dosent know what hes talking about... for the record... JVC makes a really good head unit. I have the 3100 and have had no problems with it. Its really a great head unit. However my sony did suck. I would never buy one of the new keenwoods, there to cheap looking.... |

I have a panasonic head unit for sale. It is VERY nice. 45x4. Blue face. The only reason I am replacing it is because I am going to red instrument panel. Please let me know if you would like pics. I would sell it for $100 shipped.
