Need some help choosing a new Head Unit

As the tittle says i need some help choosing a new cd player. I was thinking about putting the factory h/u back in. I have 2 12 rocksford fosgates and a 300 wat amp waitting to be put in. Some channels fried in my cd player. I wanna spend about 200.00 on my cd player or a little less. Anyone got some good suggestions. I have pioneer 6x8s in all corners.

If you use an I-pod I would suggest Alpine they have a couple units around your price range and the ease of use of the alpine with a I-Pod is amazing! I have a 9887.

My cd player comes on when i start the truck but no sound come out. all speakers are hooked up wires are hooked up correctly and the cd player goes through all the channels of the program on the cd player.
