What would be "the" headunit to go for at or around the £100 mark?

Thanks for all the suggestions thus farly, appreciated

with or without external amp?

apparently HU along with external amp isnt as important than speakers direct from HU.
external amp; i'd just go with one that has the features you want and design you like. i've never bothered with the EQ features on my pioneer; just use the pre-set EQ settings and auto-gain.

there is something todo with RCA outputs though; some HU's have better pre-out RCA connections. i think it was down to voltage rather than anything else. 5v pre-outs seem to be the desirable ones as thats what i have on mine

Will be running direct off the HU matey

Do you want a CD player in the head unit, or just USB/iPod only?

Best thing I did to mine was put some speakers behind the seats. Sound quality isn't great but at least I can hear them now. £20 + £120 for an Alpine MP3 HU + dash controls (modifry)

...wasnt sure if we've pursuaded you to go amp.
i think it took me a day todo my setup which including modding and planning layout once i had the car apart.

kenwood have a fairly good rep around that price mark.
pioneer HU's also worth considering but im not sure on their units around that price range.

Pioneer DEH-8300SD looks quite good on http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/specials.php (i use CarAudioDirect - i like 'em.)
