I've got the stock JBL head radio unit that came with my '03 VLX. It's pretty much a POS, the unit's fell through it's placement several times (not sure how to best describe this), a piece of plastic that keeps the cd slot lid closed broke off, and in general I'm not happy with it. I don't have an amp or a sub and don't know much about radio's and their associated parts. I'm looking for a replacement that will work with whatever backend connections that JBL uses (it comes with a different manurfacturer's speakers, can't remember which ones, maybe clarion...) Hence a few questions: 1) Do I need a marine audio component or would any do, any benefits to the marine one? The '03 VLX has an armrest that covers the radio, so in general water should not be a problem. 2) Any recommendations for a decent MP3, CD, radio player that's about $150 and doesn't skip, the JBL skips way to much. 3) Anyone else replace this head unit or have theirs fall through?
