I wish I got your kind of b/day presents :(

Anyway, I've never been real fussed about H/U brands as long as A) Its not sold at a SCA/Repco store B)Has the right amount of outputs C)Has lots of flashy lights (I Jest I swear).

Pick one that you like the look of and has the features that you like. I love my Kenwood, has so much tuning ability, but I notice that none of the later models do. I really like the look of the newer Alpines too.

They all do pretty much the same stuff these days.

Go get yourself a Eclipse CD7200MKII. Best HU for tuning capabilities.

The best single din unit I've had was a Sony xplod Bluetooth unit you can play your music via Bluetooth audio and Bluetooth phone menu lets you access your phone book without touching the phone

Also how hard it it to put a newer steering wheel onto a vr v6 acclaim? I mean a steering wheel with the stereo controls inbuilt because according to the info i was reading it also supports resistance based steering wheel controls

Got lucky today. Manages to score a somy xplode 600w 4 channel amp from super cheap for $100. Was advertised at $150 so i think thats a win in my books. Will do to run the rears and subs for now as managed to blow up my dub amp last weekend and when i can afford a decent amp
For my subs i will use it to run my fronts as well as my rears
