My brother has a 2006 1500 Chevy, and the factory deck will no longer play CDs. He is almost always a 100% factory replacement guy, but I think I've actually convinced him to step outside the box on this one.
He can get a factory replacement CD player for around $500. That is the max he wants to spend on a new system if he decides to go to the aftermarket route.
He does not have the Bose system, but it is a 6 speaker system.
When I did the system in my truck a few years ago, I spent probably 2 months researching decks, amps, subs, etc. Once I got it all installed, I pretty much stopped caring about what the latest and greatest was, and I haven't looked at options available since. I have no idea what's good and what isn't.
I went with an Alpine deck and I have mixed feelings about it. Has their quality control improved? Kendwood was also highly recommended at the time..
He went down and looked at a few options at a local car audio place. He actually almost walked out with a BOSS DVD indash player because of the price, but thankfully he decided to wait.. I haven't heard great things about them.
He would most likely like to add a sub. I have a thunderform under my rear seat.. Any of you Chevy guys have options for hidden enclosures like that?
Basically, what can he do for an 06 Chevy and $500? Any advice/opinions greatly appreciated!
