    I just picked up my new JVC head unit today. It's a JVC KD-R200. I picked it, a wiring kit, and the mounting kit for a little under $70. (I got a buddy at Best Buy, employee discount :D). It's bottom of the line, but I really just wanted the AUX port for my Ipod. I hate the stupid FM transmitters. My next project is trying to cram a sub into the back without sacrificing seats.

    Keep your pants on, it's not installed yet! :D I'll take pics once it's in, but it probably will be next weekend. Also on the sub, I'm looking at getting a powered Bazooka tube sub. Anyone have one?

    Little this. Little that 4x4 Swap’d PreRunner
    I have the 10" its sitting in between the rear seats so people can fit back there. it fits perfectly between the back wall and the center console. however, i can't really open my center console now.. oh well haha i can crack it enough to put trash in it.
    having it against the rear wall lets the sub fire off the wall, producing good bass.

    All for $80 bucks installed. Yes it does sound better than the stock one. Better bass from the stock speakers, but I still want a bazooka!

    It looks like the color probably goes good with our dash lights too. Nice job.
