Default Recommend me a stereo please!

Its been a while since I was playing around with car audio, to be honest since I had the Blitz exhaust fitted coincidently but my trusty Kenwood flipdown headunit seems to have given up the ghost

My Birthday is on the horizon and I fancy a cheapish replacement (curtousy of the parents), looking in the region of £90-120.

I would like it to have a USB port on the front as I download a lot of new music but this is not essential. I require an auxilary output or two for my amplified speakers. I like the plainish black look but may be swayed by something like this if it will be any good?..

All suggestions appreciated,

Paul

dont confuse BOSS with BOSE , i just fitted this... http://www.caraudiocentre.co.uk/prod...3i_p-25776.htm

also wanted a cheap one with scope to expand again , been a few years since i had lots of amps and subs etc but rememebered how important quality + control over frequencys (HPF/LPF sub control etc) was , there is cheaper stuff out there with these features i belive , but i will say this one sounds great on my JL audio speakers (sub to follow at some point i guess)

Thanks for the reply. I used to work at Halfords part-time and the best sounding stereo they had there was an Alpine 4x60 H/U, sounded great and was around £150 at the time, if I could find something similar to that id be happy.

PS I know it was not Bose, think I would struggle to get a pair of headphones from Bose for £100 let alone a stereo!
