Default recommended mp3/cd/ player with aux in for civic 2004??

I'm thinking of replacing my CD player with stock one. Which one do you recommend and which will fit with my car , do i need extra "dasH" or whatever u guys call it?
I've been to frys electronic and look around i'd prefer to buy online if there's better specs cd player at cheap price .

How about the Out put of 50W and 45W and so on, which one works best?

Thanks.

im planning to upgrade my door speaker and probably rear speaker also, which set do you guys recommend and what are the specs of the db frequency range should i look for when buy the set?

I see your a gamblin man! (buying electronicson line IS a gamble....like it or not) Cheap is not allways better. Actually it very rarely is!
Frequency range matters not. Fitment, and cost/value are what I would suggest paying attention to. Consider also, the end of your plan.... AMP. SUB, etc.

What I would recommend is going to a local car audio store (never heard of frys electronic, so sorry if that is one) and checking out the decks they have and seeing what you like the best. Some tricks for picking out a good deck are, first bring in a CD that you've listened to a LOT (so you can tell the quality in the deck), play all the decks through the same pair of speakers, preferably the set you are planning on buying, and also listen to all the decks with both LOUD on and LOUD off. What the loud thing does is it adds a lot more power but sacrafices quality. Meaning if the store has all the decks hooked up to a really powerful amp and they turn loud on they can make a crappy deck seem a lot better than it really is and a lot better than it will sound in your car without that same amp.

If you aren't planning on getting a 4 channel amp (additional $300 but worth it) make sure to get a deck with a high pre-amp output. The deck I have is an eclipse, while being more expensive, IMO they seemed hands down better than any of the other decks I looked at. I have the CD3000 version, but make sure to get something above the CD1000 version cuz that one isn't even made by eclipse.

Also a rule of thumb is don't get sucked in by the "additional features" of the deck. Its better to get a quality, powerful deck that will make your music sound good than to get a crappy deck that has a nice digital display, customizable colors, a nice demo mode with pictures of dolphins swimming around, blah blah blah. My brother used to have a sweet looking Panasonic that did all that stuff but he hated the way it sounded and ended up going with an Eclipse. Besides you're in it for the music, right?

Oh, the other reason you should go to a local car audio store is that they know their stuff really well and will be able to help you find the best CD deck in your price range, which you can't do going online. And the diff in price might only be like $30, IMO after shipping not that significant. Better to just give that to support the business that helped you with your purchase.
