interestingly enough, at almost 50, I've never bought an aftermarket radio for an automobile..
had a few that came with, got a couple now that were in the trucks, one in the glove box, one dash hacked but may be letting that one go eventually..
I did add an fm tuner gizmo in my 02 gmc to use my mp3 player in the desert, talk about crap but it makes noise..
uncut dashes and stock AM radio is where it's at, nothing that important to listen to volume or quality wise necessary in a vehicle..
maybe in the back of an rv or limo but not something I'm driving.. I enjoy tunes like everyone else, but also like to hear the road..
now my living room is another story.. 145w/ch 48lb main amp, 110lbs of nht l5 satellites 24 drivers total and a 71lb dual 12" al sub driven by a 20lb 250w amp..
so I'm not completely unfamiliar with high quality audio at eardrum shattering volume if you like that, just never saw the need for it in an automobile..
if I ever do, hidden units in the glove box or faceless units under the seat would do me just fine..
most of the crap I see folks cutting dashes for is far less than impressive anyways.. sorry if that hurts anyone's feelings..
and besides the hacked dash, it's a thief magnet in a very simple to enter vehicle..
to each his own, good luck!
