Cheap HU for track car? loud with aux imput

Hey guys,

I am looking for a cheap single DIN head unit for my track car. I drive it to the track, and not having a stereo for the 200 mile trip (each way) kinda sucks. The car is stripped and is very loud due to no sound deadening or interior, plus soon I plan on removing the windows since I am getting ready for wheel-to-wheel racing. So basically I just need something that is cheap and loud, and has an auxiliary input for an MP3 player. Does not need to sound great, just be loud enough to be heard over the car noise. As a reference for how loud I need, the stock stereo in my IX would not be loud enough; I was running it at max volume driving to the track back when I was tracking it and it was barely audible over the road noise and this car is much louder. The guy I got the car from left some aftermarket speakers in it, but took the head unit.

Any suggestions?

I like the Alpine unit that I installed ~2 years ago...I am sure they have new models with more features and power, but mine was rated at 25W I believe and has an iPod adapter. For getting to and from the track it would more than suffice.
