So i recently bought a AVIC-D3 Nav/Entertainment sytem for my Ford Ranger... But the navagation system hasnt turned out to be very accurate/useful... So im in the market for a different deck... it does not have to have gps or play dvds but instead i want it to be the best sounding deck thats out there... This pioneer one doesnt sound very good on my system and i was more impressed with the sound quality of the 150 doller deck i had before it...

Any suggestions?

 

Nak CD700mkII would be one of your best choices if you're looking for "the best sounding deck thats out there".

 

what is the budget?

 

Say $700 for a budget

 

Eclipse CD7200mkII excellent sounding deck
Kenwood X991 - great unit!
Clarion DRZ9255 - doesn't have many toys - and is quite pricy

 

You could get into the Pioneer PRS 800 deck for less than that and be blown away with options and SQ. It's got 5 volt outputs for your amps which has been proven. Some companies say they have certain amounts of output on paper, but don't deliver.
The D3 has 2 volts out max per set of channels, like most dvd decks and not much for tweaking. If you don't wire the VSS in, the nav isn't very accurate.
