I have $800 to spend

I put this in the audio forum, but haven't gotten much attention, hoping for a little more in here.

Now that appearance/performance mods are done I'm now looking to start a few audio mods. I have about $800 that I'm looking to spend initially to get a good head unit installed. I don't need navigation because I have a Garmin nuvi 360 for that. I have been looking on ebay at a couple different units, such as;

http://cgi.ebay.com/CLARION-MAX675VD...tegoryZ32825QQ ssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

http://cgi.ebay.com/JENSEN-VM9022-2-...020QQcategoryZ 32825QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

http://cgi.ebay.com/KENWOOD-DDX6019-...ategoryZ32825Q QssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Those ones are under my limit, but that gives me enough to buy the accessories I may need (wiring harness & mounting kit?) and also allows for maybe some speakers possibly. I come to you guys because I'm not sure which system is the best out there for my price range and I'm not exactly sure of everything I'll need to install a system (I've never installed a system in any vehicle I have ever owned myself). I'm a real novice at audio because it just has never really been a big priority for me so I'm hoping some of the more knowledgable folks her can help me out. Thanks

I am sure that $800 would buy some decent therapy... Especially if you have insurance and only have to pay a co-pay...or your work has an EAP (employee assistance program)!

Thats where I got my 6019! Recieved it in 3 days with dash kit and wiring harness! I LOVE the unit would recomend it to anyone. I also conisdered the other two you are looking at and the kenwood wins hands down. Better sound quality, easy to use, no glare, WAY easy to install, and super user friendly.(Also easy to ground)
