Head Unit

I'm just wondering what are some good head units. Audio system is stock, minus a JL 10in sub in a stealth box. Any opinion?

I was thinking of this http://cartoys.com/Default.cfm/p/Alpine_CDE_9874/

I just bought a Alpine CDA-9884, the 2008 version of the one you posted. It matches the interior well and sounds great with the stock monsoon amp and speakers. Also comes with a free iPod cable.

don't mean to hijack the thread or anything, but what's a g-meter? sounds cool.

Mount? Do you mean the piece that fills in the blank spaces above and below the head unit?

Do you have a cd changer, and if so does it work with the head unit?
