Does anyone know who makes a car stereo/radio that has a red display and comes in a black or dark gray cover??? I've only seen the ones that have a chrome cover (Best Buy).

 

i have a kenwood that is black with a red lights.

 

Sony i think??

 

Great. How do you like the Kenwood? Do you drive an FD, if so, does the display match your instrument cluster?. Thanks for your reply and input.

 

Don't buy Sony. Their headunits blow, especially the Xplod ones.

 

Sorry to hear that. I was going to buy a 12" Xplod woofer. What would you recommend. I'll be using about 200 watts for the woofer.

 

Not sony, go with some low in JL's

 

Dang,

I've got Sony Xplod equipment that works fine.

 

Put Sony next to an Alpine or Pioneer and the sound difference is VERY evident. I'm not even talking about a high-end Alpine or Pioneer. An entry-level Alpine will sound better than the best Xplod.

 

To answer your question:

I've looked at Crutchfield's site and found a few.

Sony CDX-MP80 (selectable color, chrome accents)
Kenwood KDC-MPV6022 (selectable, a bit of chrome)
Clarion ProAudio DXZ535 (adj. color)
Harman Kardon TrafficPro (looks great, except it's an expensive navigation unit)

I didn't really care for any of these decks so I gave up on finding one with a matching color scheme a while ago.

I don't really care for any of Sony's decks, feature-wise. Can't comment on their sound quality, decks or subs.

...but hey. Let us know if you find anything else with this color combo.

I'd think RF would be that sceme

 

Here's a pic of my sony md player.

 

Hey, I have that deck in my Honda. Was good for a while, but now it skips. It'd match the FD pretty well though.

 

Nakamichi CD 400 is the most aesthetic match in my opinion. Go to www.nakamichi.com and look under mobile audio. There's a pic on the site that shows it w/ the amber display. Only problem is I don't believe it plays MP3s.

My Pioneer CD player is red-orange and matches my dash perfectly. But I have a FC.

 

Nakamichi's dont do anything except play CDs and AM/FM (at least as far as I know) but they sound awesome! I borrowed a friend of mine's old Nakamichi while my Alpine was being fixed (long story) and the sound quality difference just blew me away! But I just couldn't live without my MP3s or XM radio. So its back to the Alpine for me.

BTW, both the Alpine and the Nakamichi are black with orange backlighting. (The Alpine is selectable between green and orange.)

 

InsaneGideon: Hey man thanks for all the info.

According to large X7, seems like Alpine an d Nakamichi might be what i'm looking for.

Thanks YOU ALL for your input.
