I need a decent headunit for under $150 I was thinking of getting a Farenheit TID-407. Does anyone have an opinion on this headunit? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Never heard any good from the Farenheit stuff... Pretty much Dual or Valor quality.

Here... MUCH better choice. Plus, it's a respected name that'll be around. You'll always be able to get support and accessories for it.

It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

you will not find a decent DVD/Monitor combo for 150 dollars. But do yourself a favor, save up some more money. or better yet, look at the unit Haem suggested so you do not kill one of us while trying to watch a movie while you drive. Even Alpine has CD players in that price range. Avoid the Farenheit unit as if it were the plague.

I got the Jensen UV8020 from 21greatdeals.com for just over $200 shipped. I love it and haven't had a problem with it at all. What are you driving, not sure if a double din would work for you or not.

no unfortunately not. I have 1.5 din its a 95 Buick Century... yes I said Century you wouldnt believe the room I have in the trunk for a mid size car. Besides who would ever think of someone having a system in a Century. There's not alot of aftermarket parts for it so 98% of it is all custom.

Dude... The JVC I linked is a $650 deck! You'll never find a better VALUE in a deck. If you want a screen, get the JVC for now, save your cash, and get a GOOD DVD deck, later.

Sounds like you need some economics classes! posted_image
