no name cd players ok for use with my 92 Camry?

[fernicus]

I was originally thinking of getting a name brand cd player for my 92 Camry but anyone have much experience with no names ones? For example, I saw this one called Kawasaki that was a 3 disc front loader that had a remote for less than $100! Worth getting a no name or stick to brands? Anyone have experience with no name ones and anyone that they could recommend? How about a budget or moderately priced cd player that is good and functional? I ain't like these badboys that need 200 watts aside and super Bass on my music, after all, I may want to spin some Gordon Lightfoot on the player 2! (hey, no Lightfoot jokes!)

Man, get something good. Pinoneer, Kenwood, Alpine. Not Sony.

Don't be a cheapo and get stuff that will break.

You can get plently of good brand name CD players around $130 (just under $200 if you want mp3/wma, which I strongly recommend).

It's not that you are paying more money for "super bass". 50x4 watts max power (25x4 RMS) is average. You're paying for quality, functionality, and reliability.

how about Blaupunkt? are they still good car stereos? They were back in the day. Thanks for the tip.
So, I guess there arent any besides the above in good cd player type of radio. Oh well, bite the bullet and buy one.

Dunno much about blaupunkt really. Panasonic I hear are ok. But I'd just stick with the ones I listed, Alpine probably being the best.

I've heard good things about Blaupunkt but I can't get past their looks.
