I want a new head unit
 
I'm tired of my boring 1 cd headunit, but I dont wanna spend a crazy amout of money and I want it to be 5 or 6 cd changer. 2 questions...

1) how much am I looking to pay for a reasonable(not awesome, and not cheap) head unti with a 5/6 cd changer

2) how much does it typcially cost for installation?

aww fook. What about the one that comes with the mach sound system?

You can get the whole Mach 1000 setup for around $1200.

you can always buy an aftermarket cd changer that hooks up to ur existing head unit (factory or aftermarket)....you can mount the changer anywhere u want as long as there is space....

I really think it's a waste of money. I have the Mach 460 (will eventually be Mach 1000 :punk: ) 6 disc changer and I usually just treat it like it's a one disc anyway.

dannyb785 03-21-2006 07:46 PM

um....where and how much for the unit and installation? I've seen a 1cd changer installed and its a pain so I wot even touch a 6cd changer

I used to have a real nice Pioneer head unit in my old 02 stang which just had the single CD player. When I got my current stang, it had the Mach460 system. I didnt want to lose the 6 cd changer so I sold my head unit for 200 bux. I love the Mach460 system.

I've heard from many stereo specialists that the Mach460 and 1000 are one of the all time best factory stereo systems

danny, if you dont have the mach system, youre just better off buildin your own. and IMO changers are overrated. most of the time they have to be installed in the trunk, which means you cant change cds while drivin...heres the one i just ordered cuz my other one went dead after three and a half years.

I just have the Alpine CDA-9855 (LOVE IT), 60 GB Ipod, and the Alpine Ipod Intereface Adapter.. works beautifully together and you have a bazillion songs right there that you control witht he head unit itself and dont have to mess witht he ipod while driving

MattJ 03-22-2006 06:03 AM

I have a computer thats going in my car with almost 400 albums. screw all that ipod headunit crap.
lol

csledd 03-22-2006 06:27 AM

400 albums is nothing for my ipod ;)

floppy 03-22-2006 07:07 AM

hey danny, i have a 7" concept dvd player/cdplayer/mp3/tv tuner etc etc that im selling. it was like $1600 new and i only used it for 3 months in my old car before i bought the stang, i just never got around to putting it in the mustang. im selling it for $300. also, the screen adjusts up and down and also side to side unlike almost any other dvd player.


mp3 cd's are great because you can easily hold 1000 songs on a cd.

venom 03-22-2006 08:00 AM

Just get an MP3 compatible head or alpine with ipod or car pc.
