this is for my truck, Dodge. I want to replace my head unit and run stock speakers for now. Also need hi power so I don't need an amp. I would like it to have controls for CD changer and output for adding a seperate sub later. Does not need XM. Any suggestions on the head unit and CD Changer.:)

I'd look at Alpines CDA9825 (http://iweb.alpine-usa.com/pls/admn/item_info?p_item_name=CDA-9825&p_category=10&p_subcategory=20&p_main=10), CDA9827 (http://iweb.alpine-usa.com/pls/admn/item_info?p_item_name=CDA-9827&p_category=10&p_subcategory=20&p_main=10) or Pioneer's DEHP360 (http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/pna/product/detail/0,,2076_4041_64485116,00.html) or DEHP560MP (http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/pna/product/detail/0,,2076_4041_64485157,00.html) ...
Something like Kenwood's KDCMP425 (http://www.kenwoodusa.com/product/product.jsp?productTypeId=20&sortBy=price&pageId=2&productId=2571)
Then there's the Eclipse CD3434 (http://www.eclipse-web.com/products/cd/cd3434.htm)
MAybe a clarion 525 or a SOny CDX???
All the above are good units..

I am thinking for the head unit the Sony CDX-M630 and the CD\MP3 the Sony CDX-757MX. Just need to add a little bass though.;)

I've never heard it, so I have no opinion on it... I have heard the Infinity powered sub and thought it's good for adding a little bottom end into your system. RiverCrazy has one in his Tundra, form what I remember... PM him for his opinion.

Yup. I've been running a 200W Infinity Basslink for a few years now.
Very compact. Very high SQ. Easy install. Has a remote control. Durable. Hits respectably hard (gives a good back message in a truck cab). I love this thing and it puts out plenty of hit for me in a extended truck cab sometimes its annoying and I have to turn it down.
If your looking to rattle the neighboorhood though, you will probably be better off with a seperate sub/amp setup....
