Default Advice for Car Player and Speakers

Hi everybody!

I'm asking for your kind help as I am going to replace my old Clarion head
unit.
My budget restricts my choice a lot, after some searching this is the list I
have:

Clarion CD7000
Clarion CD7100
Sony CDXGT20
JVC KDG432
Kenwood KDCW241AY
Kenwood KDCW3537G
LG LAC 3700R
LG 4700
Pioneer 2900
Alpine 9871R


In your opinion, which one is best suited? I am especially interested in FM
quality and Mp3 capabilities.
Then the speakers choice comes...What do you think about Sony speakers? Are
they crappy or comparable with JBL or Boston speakers?
Thanks a lot for your kind replies,

Kaplan

Default Advice for Car Player and Speakers

If you are looking at the Alpine 9871R unit (which I can find for less
than £89) then I would recommend looking at a Kenwood KDCW6537U. Good
quality unit with decent USB input, it may be at the top end of your
budget but in my opinion is worth it.

Speaker wise Sony are ok for a general replacement of the OE stuff.
Much the same with all of the speakers in that £20-£35 price bracket.
I would have the JBL over the Sony.
