I was supposed to buy a new car but something came up, so I’m stuck with my first purchase when I was 17, banged up civic. The stock stereo broke and I just need something to play CDs for the next year or so. When I search "good cheap stereo" people say "you get what you pay for" but does that mean the thing will be skipping etc? I don’t care about quality as much like volume, as I will be using my stock speakers… I just need something that plays CDs without skipping and an aux input would be nice but not necessary… any advice?

Hey, I just got a new car and am looking to put a cheap but good audio system in it with subwoofers, amplifier, and speakers. I was wondering wide a guide online is it really hard? Also is it cheap if I take it to a shop to get it done? And could any recommend a good but cheap audio system for a car?
