Well, it looks like that time. I need to find a really nice set of 4x6 speakers for my little guy. I was reading that the Infinity Kappa series 4x6 is rated one of the best. They can be run from the HeadUnit, but may need a small amp to really push them. That means I would probably need to install it in the front and run the wires. I just dont want to wear down the battery with my music. I plan on getting one of the newer series Alpine's that play MP3's.

Any suggestions or experience with these?

I installed car stereos and alarms for a living till around 1990, I still play with them a lot. Its in my blood. I have a Sony unit in my Chalon that plays the MP3 files, its my second one. I have used Kenwood which is in my truck and I am sadly dissapointed with it. Half the time the stupid remote doesnt work, I have friends who have alpine units and they tell me they skip or wont play all the songs or a half dozen other complaints. I wouldnt buy anything but a Sony for my cars anymore. It never skips, it plays all the songs and in a 914, you are right in front of the radio anyway, they come with a remote but it seems worthless to use it. Its also High powered so I dont need an amp with it. I am installing an amp for the subwoofers. I am running 2 8" woofers in a custom cabinet on the passenger side floorboard where the foam thingy used to be. I have not got it all hooked up yet but I am hoping for the best.

That sounds good. Which sony deck is good with the MP3's?
