Best use for the double-din

I'm getting kinda tired of my stock in-dash cd player and i want to upgrade my sound system. I'm trying to figure out how to best use the wonderfully large double-din thats so popular our japanese cars. here are the following options:
1. decent single-din head unit and a single din 6-disc mp3 cd changer.
2. again, 1-din head unit with something like a 12 band eq right below it.
3. just the cd-player and a silly little storage space.
4. if someone handed me $1300 the Pioneer AVIC-D1
5. A double-din head unit that looks cool and doesn't have a freakin tape player in it.

now, price is of some concern but I want a clean and great sounding system
any suggestions????

 

cd player + ecutek data monitor:naughty:

 

Jesus H Christ dude, your sig is 2 meg.

 

ecutek monitor... not bad
the pioneer nav. has some kind of car monitoring system but i dont have the details yet

 

better now?

 

Heh, thanks. Was taking a while to load and pegged my network meter for a bit...

 

Option 5: Single DIN head unit and 03 Forester DIN pocket

I've got my HU on top and the pocket below it. The pocket is pretty small but can hold CDs; I keep my remote control for my head unit up there. I guess you could keep all sorts of stuff up there mainly it just cleans up the install.

 

option #6? :rofl:

 

:bigthumb: i like it ^-^

 

Pioneer AVIC-D1

You can get them on ebay for around $1100 now! I love mine!

 

For the price of the Pioneer AVIC-D1 you could build a car PC.

 

i get the AVIC D1 for 700........but anywayz i would do a single head unit with a EQ personally....or a custom guage mount under.
