    As soon as UPS decides to deliver my new car headunit and Sirius tuner, I'll have Sirius radio.

    Does anyone else here have it, and if so, can you recommend some channels that play music that I would like? BTW, if you don't know what music I like, I like Linkin Park obviously, Korn, Slipknot, Breaking Benjamin, Soil, stuff like that.

    I'd like to hear how it is too, I've been looking into it for a while. It sounds pretty cool, mainly cause I'd be able to blast radio music without worrying about trashing my speakers.

    Satellite radio.


    I installed it this morning, it's pretty nice and seems worth the 13 bucks a month for it. Commercial free radio coast to coast, and they have several rock/alternative stations to choose from.

    And I love it because I'm always in the car and my same old CD collection gets boring after awhile, this will provide a good variety of music.

    The receiver and antenna for my Kenwood car stereo cost me around 80 bucks on eBay. There are cheaper kits like these that connect to your stereo using a cassete adapter or FM modulation (broadcasts the Sirius radio on an FM station that your car radio is tuned to) but then Sirius isn't worth it because it's near CD quality sound, something FM and a cassete won't give you. The way I have it now is I have a cable running from my Sirius tuner in my trunk to my head unit using Kenwoods special interface which provides digital sound quality and lets me control Sirius directly on my headunit. What I've got is this
