whoa whoa. sony? pioneer from walmart (not the same as pioneer anywher else)?

first of all, avoid sony car audio. its just not their thing. i'd say go to www.pricegrabber.com and enter the model # you want. it will find you killer prices, usually from etronics. then, once you get that great price, go to www.thezeb.com, where they will beat or match the price. i've ordered lots from them for myself and friends, and HIGHLY recommend them.

for under 200, go with the pioneer 6500.

the headunit my bro bought at audioexpress and they did the install, he said he spent like $300 but im sure thats a lie...i dunno, he bought it 2 years ago

i went to wal-mart last nite and saw a pioneer deh p4400 fro liek $80, lol.

i took the headunit out of my grandam...and who knows, if he did get it from audioexpress maybe they did charge $120 for the install....u have to rip apart the WHOLE front dash to get to 1 bolt...u have to take the bottom driver panel, around the cluster, above the cluster...all u got is the cluster/steering wheel, just to get to 1 frickin bolt to get the front face off to unscrew the bracket holding the head unit in...the car is running bad so i didn't even bother putting the **** back together, lmao

ebay would be your best bet...usually those prices are 1/2 off of what list prices are in stores...so find a good $300-350 model deck, and then go to ebay and see what the prices are there..

well i got the pioneer deh p-330 and i love it, made my stock speakers sound 100x's better, and it is insanely adjustable for just the right sound. so im pretty sure the 6500 would be even better than mine...best of all, mines XM Radio Ready =) so eventually i'll get XM Radio
