It is SOOO perfect. I'm afraid $500 is my limit, however.


It says $1000, that thing cost about 2000 buck as far as
my last research goes

That sounds very high, I paid less than $3K for the headunit, external
DAC,
CD changer and the meter module. This included shipping from FL to TX and
there was no tax. This should put the headunit price around $1K.

and you can't fast frwd or rewind when
listening to a song.

True. But do you really do that outside your studio setup?

Sound quality is good though.

And is likely to stay that way. :-)

For the amount of money you have in mind, you'll have lots of
choices. But first, how do you intend to drive the speakers
inside your fine antique car, are you gonna go separates?
I think you should also have a subwoofer.

The little Focal Utopia woofers are a great solution for those who don't
want to cut up their fine classic vehicle.

If you want some
fun but want to play it safe, then go with the best and get a
DRZ9255.

Actually both brands are owned by the same company now so there should be
lots of common technology in both.

Rekindle those flickering lights in dash and you'll
glow gleaming with glee.

That is SOOOO Honda Civic or Mitsubishi Eclipse.

Your recommendations are all fine and very much appreciated.
I should have known that my use of the word "outstanding" in this context
would lead to discussions of audio componentry at a higher price point
that
I anticipated.
While I'm a perfectionist at home, this 1969 280S is just too noisy at
highway speeds to justify it.
At least I can take comfort that Arny will tell me the difference can't be
heard

I just adjusted the valve lash. That should cut down on the noise a little




Bob,

Shut up and start bidding.

Chances are it'll go for under $500.
