Default looking for advice on a good double din or pop out screen unit

Hi all. Ok I am by no means an audio expert. I can install a head unit no problem, but as far as picking out good stuff or wiring up a sub or amp i am lost mainly because i have never done it. I want a nice double din or pop out screen head unit. Not sure what to get. Are there any brands to stay away from? Brands that are good deals and still pretty good quality? Definitely gonna try and research amp and sub setups. I'm a total newb when it comes to stereo stuff lol.

Pioneer kenwood alpine take your pick they are all decent now. Just stay away from boss sound stream Jensen stuff like that

A nice double din can be had for around $200 all the way up to $1500 if you want all the bells and whistles

I have a Clarion NZ503 single din w/pop out screen. I'm satisfied.

Are there any features your looking for in particular?

I mainly want it to have a screen lol. Want it touch screen, if i can get a DVD player with it for the right price that would be awesome. And i want to be able to easily customize my sound settings. Like i said i am absolutely no expert on sound stuff, this is the first nice car i have ever owned so i want to have a nice system all around.
