97 Honda Civic Audio Question?

Nice a person that knows how tell me what i am working with. Alright here's the gist. Honestly , if you get a radio with I-Pod controls don't even worry about the CD changer because you are most likely not gonna use it. You are better off taking that stuff out (headunit/changer) and e-baying it to help pay for your new stuff. Next, since you already had a Pioneer and they are making some of the best headunits right now you might as well stick with them. They make some nice units they everything you want them to do. Depending on you budget look at the deh-p6900ub and deh-p5900ib. Seeing as you didn't ask for something flashy and you wanted i-pod controls this help narrow in down to these two. The 6900ub and the 5900ib are pretty similar. They both have the newer and easier i-pod control that you see everything like it's displayed on i-pod from the headunits screen as well charge it so it's not burning burning through battery. They both have the ability to play either XM or Sirius radio through the Headunit provided you buy the appropriate tuner box for whatever company you decide to go with. Both have the same multi-line screen that will allow you to see more info from whatever source you happen to have plugged in. Difference? Basically the 6900ub has a USB plug that you use for an USB device( thumbdrive, USB mp3 player) or your I-Pod through the headunit whereas the 5900ib you would have to buy a seperate cable to plug your i-pod in (cdi200) that's usually under $50. Ok now for the sub, if there's good speakers already in it you can usually pickup a good 10" or !2" sub/box/amp if you just watch your sales. Lots of time places offer package deals on something that would be good but for love all that is car audio use your head. If you something that looks too good to be true then stay away or better ask a question because most ppl (but not all) people that work in car audio place will typically tell in some way, shape or form if what you think you might like to buy is crap. If they say "uhh i don't know if want that." or "Are you sure?" then it's probably something you might wanna research before buying. If you stick with mainstays like MTX/ KICKER/ Eclipse etc. then you can't really go wrong an alot of times you won't need to shell a whole lot if you doin just 1 sub to fill in your low-end. Oh by the way, there's other unit that do i-pod well and are good radios so you still are gonna have to do some figuring on you own.
