new car stereo and some question

[Malin]

I can start saying that I know nothing abut car stereo :)
but I am looking for a new car stereo I have some demand it must be a MP3 so i can play CD-R or CD-RW MP3 files and it must be simple to use and the highest price is 1500skr or 162,45 EUR

Here are the three models I have been looking at so far. What do you think is the best one for the money?

And one other thing I am not interesting in a stereo that is not sold in Europe
So please people before you post a link be sure that it is for sale in Europe/sweden

Hi there. I know a few things about electronics. . . My opinion: Kenwood is out of the question (not good quality of manufacture), Sony is good in more expensive models, so i would say Blaupunkt is the best from those 3. U might want to check in Pioneer to.

Kenwood makes some of the highest quality headunits available. I have a pioneer and like it alot.

Thanks for the replay :) I am gone look at the Pioneer.
But I think i will go for the Blaupunkt they are known to have high quality and they did have the longest guarantee (two-year guarantee)
and if I buy a new BLAUPUNKT Santa Cruz MP34 I get a 10" subwoofer with box for free :D

My favorite player is from pioneer (i like a "new" model with 4x60w mosfet mp3,wma,and smth called bymetrical equaliser system or so). For speackers i would look for DLS components. I have some infinity kappa series and they are very good also. For amps JBL and JBL subwoofers aswell. I used to like kicker also but i listed a jbl (400w rms and 1600w peak) and it almost wet my pants. I had a kenwwod palyer and it really sucked (the ound outpu (clarity, fidelity) was preety good) but it started to loose thee image anyway. Had also a cd-changer kenwood and it pissed me off alot because it recked alot of cd-s and didn't read so well also. Anyway good luck.

I wouldn't get the Kenwood, I don't trust them.
I trust both Sony and Blaupunkt. Sony is my favourite company for electronics overall, but in this case, I think I would choose the Blaupunkt.
