I strongly suggest you listen to that sub before buying it, you basically buying sony's very entry level sub, if you check the web or some other stores, you'll find the sub itself retails for less than $100, you have to ask yourself, at the end of the day, are you really going to be happy with your entry level sub, and your rear coaxials....? What type of MP3 player are you wanting to connect??There's better ways than having a USB port connected Via the front of the H/U, I'd strongly suggest you look around and have a listen to a few products, and avoid buying everything from the same manafactuer, your only limiting your options by doing that, and if have your budget to stick to, but still serious about your sound, i wouldnt be spending more on the head unit than any other compnent, you'd be better off spending $150 on the head unit, rather than $300, then having $350 to spend on your front speakers,rather than $200- also your doubling up on your rear fill speakers, also you will have 6 speakers, I.E 6 channels, but only a 4 channel amp, unless your planning on running your coaxials of the head unit, in this case they probably wouldnt even be heard over your 6x9's, basically making them a waste of $80...don't be fooled into thinking the merrier and the louder, you can get just one pair of speakers, which themselves would be more than capable of out powering all 3 sets of speakers you have listed here..

hmmm that is very interesting and now i want waste my $80 to get rear speaker in the doors

well my mp3 player is a Microsoft zune MP3 play that has a usb connection was wondering if it would connect to the deck... i would assume it would as it has a usb port on the deck

your MP3 won't be a problem, it will plug into the USB drive, however check first whether once it's connected it can be controlled via the H/U, if you have to control it via the MP3 Player itself, then all you really need on the head unit is a 3.5mm auxillary input, which basically lets you plug any device which plays through headphones into your head unit..:whistling

I personally wouldnt touch current pioneer or sony products any day other than Pioneer PRS head units.
No point sticking with one brand, mix and match brands that best suit your applications. No one company is the best at everything. Go into your local specialist store have a chat about what you want to achieve from your system and let them make some recomendations. Then let your ears do what they are desgined to do and listen to the gear. then just choose what sounds best to you that fits in your budget.

Well, there was a vehicle feature in Street Commodores, can't remember whch issue, i saw it on my now ex's wall. It was all Sony gear and was able to pump into the 130dB or 140dB range at a competition! But sound is a personal thing, people must remember that when suggesting things, things that sound good to one person will sound crap to someone else.

crombie, i own the Pioneer AVH-5000DVD Single din Flip out. Its in my VS, i had a look and it seems to be the same touch screen software... If it is then yeh these models are great. I Have a full pioneer set up, front 6'' splits with tweets, rear 6x9's, 12' VCCS Pioneer sub. 500w Pioneer amp running the speakers and 700w running the sub, also Pioneer. Before the flip out Unit i had a shitty older looking pioneer head unit and once i put the new one in the sound quality did improve alot.. also i run the ps2 into it as its packed with connections for everything its awsome..As for the touch screen best i have used, this is the best head unit i have used and owned. I recommend it, as for the lock on the use of video and av imputs while driving.... That can be overcome:thumbsup:

Thanks,
Ben
