So, i recently bought some subs off a friend at work, and need a new car deck for my prelude 2001 (mine is stock).
Can somebody give me some suggestions please.
would like it to play ipod/iphone as well as use androids as well (aux?) possibly bluetooth good idea? and any other specs you guys think is helpfull.
I want to spend $200 or less, and i was looking at these?


Pioneer 2-DIN CD/ MP3/ USB Car Receiver with iPod/ iPhone/ Android Control (FH-X700BT)
Kenwood Bluetooth USB/MP3/WMA CD Car Deck with iPod/iPhone/Android Control & Aux Input (DPX500BT)

Are these decent decks? If so which is better?

Thanks in advance for any advice

stock speakers as well? you'll have to replace them if you go aftermarket head unit because the new head unit is far more powerful than your stock one.

with that in mind:

http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_73053_Pioneer-FH-X500UI.html out in car info for free installation stuff

http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_67790_Rockford-Fosgate-R165X3.html front speakers

http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_67796_Rockford-Fosgate-R169X3.html rear speakers

$207 assuming you live in the US

JVC-840bt would be a great option.

so if i replace the head unit, my stock speakers will be overpowered? Also do you think that bluetooth is worth having and paying a bit extra?
for that website i didnt notice but do you know if they ship to Canada (thats where i live).

tyvm for the response btw

ya but there are also import fees which might be another $20-30(guessing lol).

i've never really had a use for bluetooth. if you've never used bluetooth on a head unit before then chances are you also have no use for it.

i figured out the import fees, its not too bad, all said and done the it comes to 270$ which is probably cheaper than i could find elsewhere

for the other speakers, do i need to replace them or else they will blow? or will it just sounds shitty?
