Does anyone know anything about Legacy brand stereos?
I'm thinking about getting one but can't find any reviews on it.
http://www.autotoys.com/x/cust/produ...productid=6521 what do you guys think? I figure for $200 it couldn't hurt to test it out. ~Ray

looks like a lot of features for $200, but then again, quality would be suspect. isn't Legacy one of those brands you see at swap meets and flea markets, along with Pyramid and Coby? i guess it couldn't hurt to try it at that price, though....

See, thats what i thought. Functionality sounds good but i haven't been able to see one in person so i don't know what the screen looks like. It could be as crisp as my PSP, or as crappy as my dad 1980 portable TV.
By and by though, for $200, its certainly worth a try. Kuo said that he has a legacy amp that has been working great for him for years, so thats one kudo for them i guess. I'll deliberate a few more days and if i get it, i'll let you guys know how it works out. In the mean time, if anyone has any thoughts, please feel free to share. ~Ray

why are you looking at this anyway? the bling? that screen is going to be too small to really watch anything on, and the audio (which you probably will be using the thing for 99% of the time) is probably not going to be as good as a better known brand. now that i think about it, i'd probably recommend against it, unless you have some need for those features that i'm not thinking of.

Well, my primary reason for it is to play MP3's off a DVD. My last unit I still had to swap the disk once in a while, but if i could fill up a DVD, that would last me i think. I wasn't too concerned about any additional inputs as I dont' have an ipod, but it does have an SD card slot, which is also what my MP3 player uses so i could just swap that back and forth if i wanted to.
Thats why i'm not really all that concerned about the screen. It'll look cool, which is about the only thing I'd want it for. This isn't going into the SVX by the way. For Samantha i'm going to get the kenwood 7" double din touch screen w/navigation. This little unit i'm going to put in the Acura just so i can listen to MP3's on road trips so i don't really want to spend a lot of $$. Just looking for something to get me by that looks sorta cool and has decent functionality.
