I know nothing about car audio, so I need some help.
I need some help picking out a new Car CD Player for my 99 Chevy Lumina. I plan on ordering from Crutchfield because they give you free installation instructions, wiring kits, adapters, and all that other nonsense.
So, what is a good unit? The most important feature is for the player not to skip very much. I have stiff suspension in my car which makes CD's skip to the moon with my current Delphi player. I wouldn't mind MP3 capability so I can drive on longer trips more safely because I won't be changing the discs very much.
My budget is from 130 to 175 dollars. I'm looking at the Alpine 9843 unit and the Pioneer 3800 unit, but I'm open to any good brands or units.
Also, when installing the new player, can I put some kind of antishock absorber around the player and the screws to reduce the vibrations that the CD Player has to take?
Thanks much everyone. I'm a total dummy with car audio.
