But for LnC and SPL applications, entry cost is much lower as long as you don't exceed more watts than your alternator gives out. In most cases, a 1000W mono amplifier and the-biggest-sub-with-big-box is enough.



Any Pioneer AVH unit would do. Just choose one according to your needs. Cheapest one is the 1450.. and I think your budget maxes out at 3450 or 4350 Pioneer units. I'm unfamiliar with the differences sa products so just look for enough pre-outs (2 or more [more is better]) and your "wants" (ex. playback capabilities, screen size, etc.)

Depending on your vehicle, you could also opt for those OEM integrated systems that has GPS and shiz (much like the HU of the 2011 Monty) but these aren't really my head units due to limited tuning features.
Thank you for your suggestion, i do own a 2011 montero gls but i do not like the stock HU. and i'm planning for a simple SQ but upgradable set up. thanks again sir jhnkvn!
