Well, it looks like that time. I need to find a really nice set of 4x6 speakers for my little guy. I was reading that the Infinity Kappa series 4x6 is rated one of the best. They can be run from the HeadUnit, but may need a small amp to really push them. That means I would probably need to install it in the front and run the wires. I just dont want to wear down the battery with my music. I plan on getting one of the newer series Alpine's that play MP3's.

Any suggestions or experience with these?

Well, in my defense, I only did car stereos till like 90, I started doing custom systems in Porsche, BMW, Lambohrgini, Ferrari and Mazerati from about 1979 on. I have done all american cars too and the rice burners. The company I worked for sold Alpine, Kenwood, Pioneer, JVC and Sony. The Eclipse unit you referred to is Tiwanese crap. I would rather have an audiovox unit. If you want cheap, then just go to the swap meet and pick up anything that plays MP3's. I bought one for a car I sold so I could keep my Sony unit. I paid $59.00 for it and I have never seen a bigger POS in my life. As for the first unit on the market that played MP3, it was not Kenwood, it was Aiwa. They were the first to release a unit that played MP3. If you want reliability and a good price, go with the Sony, if you want to pay top dollar for a name,, by the Alpine, I can assure you that mine will sound as good or better. Bring your car down to the WCC 2005 and we will compare the systems.
