I have a whopping $150 CDN into my MkI stereo at the moment, and I got it
all new, and it plays MP3s. Wallmart had the Blaupunkt speakers for $50 and
the head unit is a $99 Koss from Canadian Tire. That's about $70-80 US.
It's ugly as sin, and pretty crappy, but it works, maybe you can find
something to tide you over in a bin at Best Buy or something. I'd check out
that wiring before you put the next one in though!
