    stereo on a shoestring budget

    I need some input on what to get for a stereo for my cabrio. First a bit of background. Original stereo and speakers are GONE. Only components really that are still there are the door tweeters, a bit of wiring, and the factory Hirschmann antenna.

    What I need is reccomendations on what to install with a budget of about 80 bucks for the speakers (stock fitment, total of 4 speakers) and a head unit (budget of about 120 bucks, preferably cheaper).

    I know I wont be getting top of the line (or even middle of the road) but I dont want some cheap shit that keeps blowing out every 2 miles.

    I will also be removing the amp and woofer box from my other car, so preamp outputs are nearly mandatory as is a front mounted aux input and a cd player.

    Help a brotha out, and get some tunes going....

        You can get it done with that budget...no problem. Shop around. I picked up a used Alpine CD with aux input for like $40. Nothing fancy, just good quality and gets the job done. Picked up Alpine 2 ways for the rears. My fronts have been fine so far but when it's time to replace them, they'll be replaced by components.
