    Agreed. Crutchfield is the best option. You get all of the installation materials and directions for free. Plus they will tell you exactly which models will fit your specific vehicle.

    Forgot to suggest a brand but the one's I've tried, Kenwood, Jensen, JVC, and Pioneer I have been happiest with Pioneer. The sound quality is great and they are reliable. Had some issues with Kenwood not being so reliable and the JVC in my Mom's tundra eventually stopped being able to change stations, etc. Jensen was the glitchiest POS I ever bought by the way.

    Thanks for the opinion. The jvc I posted earlier is still my favorite so far, but I'll look at pioneers
