I'm planning to change my old HU (Clarion one 2-DIN with cassette player! lol) to one that has USB and a front AUX. Any recommendations (value for money in terms of features and sound)?

Not going to touch the rest yet as budget is limited for now but definitely looking to slowly upgrade the rest later. I have an old 2ch Soundstream amp, can I re-use that for the front speakers only? Thanks for any advice.

get at least 3 rca preout for future expandure..and if u choose usb function..choose wisely because got many kind of usb connection..rear,front(ill choose this) or p80rsii kinda usb that u must buy some sort of adapter to make it runnin(usb ready)..

theres a lot of brand that is value for money to choose from,hard to determine which one is good or not..u must keep on researching owner hand on experience..some have good feature but not so user friendly..some have amazing spec but when u use d bt or usb..its very choosy bout d software on ur usb ..(can play some cant play some)..

usually buyer had a dilemma chossing between two..
1..real pure deck that promise u damn good sq wif its copper coating,gold plated rca ,time alligment wide band of tuning but they lack of internal amp ,bt or usb function..and they are not cheap also..

2.the usual that have all d function but sq so so only..but at affordable price..

look at pioneer,clarion,alpine n kenwood lineup..

yes u can use d amp to power front speaker

Thanks for the info. Checked out a few other brands like Kenwood XBT8013U but read reviews that say that although sound is good the UI is difficult to use. Also checked out Alpine CDA 9886. My idea is start out with a head unit with at least the 3 pre-outs and slowly upgrade later.
