Car Stereo People

[puddlemonkey]

I want to get a new stereo and speakers for the Lexy but don't know what to look for. I know I don't want a hidden cd changer. I have one in the trunk now and I've never used it in all the years I've had the car. What are some in dash stereo brands to consider, and what ones should I avoid? Same with amp and speakers. I don't care about radio, there are no radio stations I listen to anyway. Its gotta be mp3 player friendly. Do I need to worry about some high school fuck up installing this in my car? I've penciled in about $1500-$2000, am I even in the right ballpark?

What Lexus? How much trunk space are you willing to give up? Will you be doing the work or having a local shop install?

I don't really need the trunk for anything, I have another vehicle if I need space for something.

Definitely will be having someone else do it.

Pioneer Premier, Alpine, Panasonic...all their higher end models provide clear, crisp sound. These models also will give you plenty of EQ and tuning options. For MP3 ready just get one with an front aux input. Aside from all the regular stuff, amps, wiring kits, speakers, harnesses, sub, box...you might need an amp bypass kit. That price range sounds accurate. Buy all the stuff on ebay and have your local car stereo place install it...make sure they're certified.

They'll do installs even if I don't buy it from them?
