300-500 is wide margin. What features are you looking for? Decent units cost a lot less than that these days.

- I commute 3 hours a day, and I love music. I want the cleanest, truest possible sound for me, the driver. I like to turn down the front speakers, so the back speakers come through and the music feels like it's all around me. :)

- I want a nice full range like in a theater. If it's economical, I'd like to be able to adjust the equalizer precisely instead of just "treble-bass".

- I would like an interface for my iPod, but at the very least an audio jack.

- I'm not concerned with aesthetics: as long as things aren't rattling around in the car I'm good. I'm not looking for fancy lights or gadgets or interactivity - just the most delicious-sounding audio within my budget. And I'm not looking for booming bass, just CLEAR bass.

- I replace my car every 4 years or so, so I want to take the amp/unit with me...



Right now, with both CDs and audio through the audio jack/mp3 player is that sibilants are ragged and tinny, there is little mid-range sound, and the bass is weak as a kitten. It literally makes me nauseous.
