Default Aftermarket HU

I've been looking into buying a Aftermarket Head Unit but problem is, can't find any decent shops that sell a variety of Head Units, Anyone have any suggestions around Houston?

house of sound on telephone rd may have a decent selection. Mom and pops probably wont put their inventory out like that to be honest man. Your best bet is best buy, car toys, or mobile 1. Hell Frys as well will have a decent selection. Thats where i would start man.

Fry's selection is mostly low end. I ended up buying an Alpine iDA-X305S from Car Toys. This unit comes with a USB cable and iPod adapter, does not have a CD player, and has red as a color choice. You can find it new on Amazon for $220. I'm happy with it and will install it in the next S2K that I buy.
