Sounds good.

I also wanna mention that the head unit is most likely just for auxiliary use. I don't do CDs, and I got my entire library on my phone, so I'll just be plugging it in.

I found this Sony CDX-GT350MP head unit. Lights are blue, has a 4.8/5 rating with 4 reviews, and just costs $79.99.

Edit: btw, what's a hilux?

A Hilux is a Toyota Pickup here in the States It was Brought here from Guatemala.

Crutchfield doesnt sell it anymore but this has an Auxiliary Port in the front and an Ipod cable through the rear.

This is a Good one with a USB Port through the Front and an Auxiliary port as well.

I never knew that, cool stuff. Is there a big difference between the pickup in Guatemala and the one in the states?

I'll try looking for the Alpine but for a better price. Didn't dig the Sony explode though.

I'm really considering this one now, it just needs your blessings though if it's a good buy, lol.

Here's the link: http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_...X-GT350MP.html

As for speakers, was the pioneer set up good, or do you recommend Sony and Alpine again? I couldn't find Sony speakers that would fit though. What about Kenwood or JVC, are they any good?

i personally have tried kenwood, sony, pioneer, and alpine. hands down my favorite is alpine by a FAR margin. of course this is very subjective so you have to see the features for yourself. i love the alpine interfaces and functionality. the rest just fell short, and i was running the higher end lines (pioneer premier, kenwood excelon, etc) and alpine was still nicer! my $0.02

From the Look of it. The Alpine Head Unit is better. You have your USB Plug in the Front and you also have the Auxiliary plug. You can also control the Search Function through the Head Unit. (Except on Cell Phones).

For Speakers i Like the Kickers. Affordable and Sound Great. I Dont know what the Opinion around the forum is on these but i like them.
