Radio (was not sure where to put this)

Post by OldRedFord »

Im looking for a new radio for my Ranger. The Kenwood that is in there is about done for.

What I really like about the Kenwood is the built in level control for a amp. Like I can adjust how loud the sub is from the radio separate from the base level of the rest of the speakers.

What exactly is that called? The next headunit I get I want that feature again. I know there are little add on knobs you can get to do this but I want it in the radio.

Oh and I want it to actually eject my cd's, not half ass eject them and decide to roll them back inside.

You don't want much, do you? You even want it to spit out and release the CDs? :P :lol:

Haha yea. Lately it will stick the cd out about a 1/4" and then roll it back in, or it acts like its trying to eject the cd and just makes noises.

i know that the dehp- 5000 and 6000 series pioneer radios have that feature and a few of the high end eclipse units and alpine units have it. stay away from sony and the jvc units. check out www.crutchfield.com the sight allows you to choose your car set and sorts out the best fits for it.
