Hawaiian- how ya doin?

Boss is not a top teir manufacturer, it is a faceplate number- manufactured in China or Korea, and sold to several companies who rebrand it as thier very own. It is not as uncommon as you might imagine, the stock 6 disc in the protege is built using Nakamichis patented technologies.

Pioneer HUs are the best bang for the buck IMO, top notch quality and they come loaded with features.

I second that. I just got the new 5500 mp3/wma player for $187 shipped. Can't beat that with a stick.

Then be prepaired to spend no less then $280. Other then lacking power the stock unit is as good if not better then most aftermarket units up untill this point.

You know- I saw a new in the box Premier 650 CD unit on E-Bay this morning for right at 200.00 dollars, and it is above plain jane a notch or two.
add shipping, it might end up 230.00 for the unit, then you will need install, and a second pocket of somekind.
