Ok, time to do something mild but nice with the drop bear sound scape. I'll tell you what I have done so far and what ingredients I have thus far.

I have:
* Won two Sound4 9' speakers which I have built into the rear parcel shelf.
* Purchased a 250w, 2 channel amp for running a sub of ? inches.

I'm looking to:
Install a decent (read cheap) head unit that can do the following:
* Play mp3's
* Has an auxillary input.

Intentions:
To run a cheap 4 way system with a sub. To run an mp3 player or laptop into the aux to play music and other audio files. I am security conscious so the headunit does not need to look flash as it will be in the glovebox, it just need to be functional and easy to fly.

Please advise me on what I should set up, words of caution, how to mount the front 6x9's and what wires to run where?

I will include pics as it progresses.

Bronze.

Oh - I should add. It needs to survive serious vibration too.

if you want cheap and reliable cant go past Sony for bang-for-buck

Sony - Ok, I'll check out their website and see what I can find. I know any brand will do the job but I appreciate your input, advice and experience.
