I used to be huge into car audio - I've always loved Alpine cd players.
Pioneers are also very good for the money, and the new Kenwoods don't look bad.
What always turned me off from the Alpine was the $ for what you get..
I've owned 2 Eclipse HU's (one being an indash tv), a Nakimichi CD45z, and about 4 Pioneers (latest was the silver one with mp3..)
Check them out also.

If I was you your best bet for under 200 is this pioneer
http://www.sounddomain.com/sku/PIODEHP6500
or this alpine

I have the alpine 9813 and it is great, plenty of power.
