General audio upgrade question

[ExceL]

I'm a total n00b when it comes to audio for your car. Currently only with stock head unit & speakers.. I'm planning on getting a USB capable head-unit with the usual CD drive as well. What models do you guys recommend?

Budget..around 300 maybe? not sure if this alot or what. I'm not planning to have a 10K ICE system in my car. Should be no problem with the standard speaker & wiring setup if I purchase a new head unit right?

RM 300? Go for Brother's or China brand.

I dont think you can get a HU with usb for 300, maybe 400+ yes. I got a kenwood DHC xxxx ( forgot the numbers lol ) for 489 at brothers and it has front USB and HUX panel, mp3, radio and has the typical user interface la. Its a good HU if you ask me

Hmm, will check that shop. But looking at Kenwood's site I cant find the model. Kenwood - 1DIN Receivers

Is Clarion a good brand?, Use to have a clarion (CD only) it was nice.

go with the Rockwood. Its a hybrid of Kenwood and Rockford Fostgate. Or even better the Kenford

If im not mistaken, clarion is better than kenwood. The model im using is a KDC-MP5o39PU

Cant find the Clarion that your using, but this is nice; Clarion Malaysia | DB286USB

Then I saw that they have SD card reader instead of USB... drool..

Thanks for all the input guys

If I'm only replacing my headunit (stock), there is no need for any additional wiring/replacing or wires right?.. dont want to kena con at the shops:hmmmm:

Nop, no need of additional wiring, unless your adding in an amp or something.
