Yeah thee remote i never use...actually i do sometimes when im sitting in my car with the seat adjusted way back and im to lazy to reach my arm up....or im sitting outside the car talking to my friends and listning to music i just use the remote than. But i got it mostly to match the interior color scheme i made my car.
Akuma, I know you asked mainly for speakers, but if you were going to get a head unit buy an Alpine. The have a wide range of expensive to cheaper units.
I like how all the controls are on the left side of the unit and they actually look attractive. Others have the controls all over and look terrible.
