Does anyone know anything about this unit? It's priced right and appears to be pretty good.

I have an old Kenwood receiver and CD changer from one of my old cars and am considering installing it, but I'd rather get a more current system. If I get this one, I'll probably get the CD changer, too. I could do the install for the receiver, but doubt I'll be able to run the cables from the dash to the trunk by myself. Who knows!

Here's a link to the system. Any advice would be helpful.

I was looking at this unit and compared it to a couple Alpine and Sony units. The Sony had the lowest power so I eliminated it (17 watts X 4 channels). Even though I'll be using the factory speakers for the time being, in the long run (6 - 8 months) I want to put in new speakers, too so eventually power will be a factor. I like that the Kenwood has a wirelss remote and 22 watts per channel. The Alpine units I saw in my price range had no remotes and were 20 watts per channel. I need to keep my spending price relatively low for the receivier to leave a couple bucks for a changer and new speakers.

Can anyone recommend some quality speakers?
