undecided bout a new radio

[negrito 18]

I have had my radio for bout 3yrs n it finally died on me lol I have been looking at some new ones Iam gunna sound stupid but could I fit a double decked radio on ma lancer o its just better off getting a single decked... but I also wanna have one tha could play my dvd's... thanks

i have an 08 lancer, but ive seen the earlier versions. I think it would be best to get a single DIN deck, and if you absolutely have to have it play DVDs, get a flip-out. doing a double DIN would require mounting your HVAC controls under where they are now by using an installation kit, and then finding or making your own double DIN install kit dash panel to hold the radio. it would be easier to just get a single DIN

you need a single din, unless you want to get rid of that little cubby and move your air controls where the cubby was. go for a 7" flip up dvd player. Dual is probably the cheapest 2-300, and there actually not that bad, jus dont ever ever ever get a PYLE SUMAS orDP VIDEO

Dual sucks, 2 people I know had dual flip outs and the screen completely broke JUST after the warranty went out.....if you want DVD in your car, spend the money and do it right....you will have to eventually anyways

maybe that is for the dvd players, but i had a dual cd player that had the flip down controls n that was the best cd player i ever had, notta damn problem with it, thats y i stated a dual dvd player, but thanx fo da heads up on their dvd players. also not everyone can afford a 600 dollar clarion man

lmao Calrion is garbage too......you dont seem to know your car audio....id spend the money and get a kenwood, alpine, pioneer, eclipse, or something like that. yeah it may cost anywhere from 700 bucks to 1300 bucks, but its worth it when you dont have to send it back to them and deal with ****ty customer support......trust me, if you buy a dual or another low-end brand, you will wind up buying the same thing again a year later, and hey, with that money you could have bought a high-end brand already!

i know quite a bit more than you would think man. clarion is a pretty good brand, idk whut you been smokinbut id rather have a clarion then a kenwood, had 2 kenwood cd players n both skipped. i only pointed out the dual cus its cheap and dude may be onna budget.....plus their not that bad for a cheap ass deck, @ least the cd players arent

[Sn0w Man]

there no need to spend 1300 on a dvd player man, for 1300 i can get a 7" flip by pioneer head rest moniters amp subs a whol mf system practically

[negrito 18]

i would love 2 get a double decked but i dont wanna cut anything... so ima just go n buy a single deck but am still undecided bout goin wif 1 tha plays dvds o just a regular 1... oo n plus if u go n buy a dual radio ur taking a chance cause 1 of ma boys had it in his car n it lasted him like 3 months its cheap but ur taking a risk also

[Sn0w Man]

lol thats why theres warrenties

[Sn0w Man]

get a clarion or a pioneer 7" dvd whats ur spendin limit?

[negrito 18]

n plus am i only wanna spend max like 600buks also n i have a friend tha works at a best buy n am lucky ass hell cause he works at tha car audio section lol so hes gunna give me a discount

[Sn0w Man]

what ever you do, idc if he says there good, DO NOT i repeat DO NOT get sumas or dp video, they are bigger pos's than dual or pyle

[negrito 18]

[Sn0w Man]
