If you have the eq off it doesn't sound right? What are you looking for in terms of looks? It may be that you will end up compromising one aspect to get the other. You may get the looks in another deck but it may not last as long or sound as good. The choice is up to you. Id say anything in that price range is more of a side step then a step up. Do you have amps to run your interior speakers or plan on getting one. You may be better off changing the speakers and/or adding an amp.
