I just bought three Kenwood KDC-6011 CD/recievers for my Westy and MGBs
from Crutchfield.  These are 1999 second-from-the-top-of-the-line models
with remote control for $219 each.  Best deal I could find for a top
receiver with all the bells and whistles.  I particularly like the
removable face that when removed exposes a flashing "alarm" light,
albeit fake.

Crutchfield says none of their recievers fit the Vanagon, but most do
perfectly.  The only caution for Westy owners is that the factory rear
speakers share a common ground, and this requires rewiring a separate
ground for each or getting a $50 "floating ground" device to support the
high power modern receivers.

The factory speakers are useless with a high power receiver, so I
installed close out 1999 Infinity Reference Series speakers from
Crutchfield too, $160 for a pair of 6 x 9s for the front doors and a
pair of 4" that fit the rear stock openings.  Another good deal.  To
round it all out I added a Bazooka Tube 8" amplified bass unit that can
be easily removed if I need the space for hauling.

Haven't gotten a CD changer yet, but will when the tax refund comes!

Very satisfied with the cost and performance. Now I can actually hear
(and feel) the music while driving!
