New Head Unit or WS-420?

[Nutter281]

Hi Guys,

Been upgrading the audio system in 2003 X2 little by little (trying to find good deals and stay within budget) and so far I have purchased or installed the following:

- 4X Polk dB6501 interior speakers
- 1X Wetsounds Syn4 Amp (channel 1&2 - tower speakers, channel 3&4 bridged interior speakers at 2-Ohms)
- 2X Wetsounds Rev8 Tower Speakers
- 1X Krypt Marine Equalizer (preorder)

It now seems that the Krypt EQ may be delayed an additional 60 days (per other thread - will confirm Monday) and that is quite near half the summer - unacceptable. If this is the case, I will either cancel the order or, if they refuse, let Visa do the canceling for me.

My existing head unit is the factory Clarion M5675 with driver-side remote but lacking any fashion of AUX input. Really just looking for best sound quality means of allowing me to playback from an ipod while spending the least amount of money.

If I upgrade the head unit (thinking Sony CDXM60UI), I also have to upgrade the remote; making the combined cost quite near a WS-420. Both routes ultimately allow me to play ipod via aux inputs.

IF I had to choose one or the other for this summer, which would provide the best results?

Thanks,
Austin
