reccomended headunits??

[dmw319]

ive been thinking about getting one for the last month or so. so far my top pick is Clarion DXZ645MP.

[96firebird311]

I see the Clarion has 3 RCA outs, but RCA voltage is not listed. Here's some more info on it FYI. 1.8V. Ouch. Other then that, seems like a pretty good deal for that price. But I'd really try to look for something atleast in the 2.5V range. The f-bodies are famous for whines and buzzing induced through the RCAs. :(

Here's a couple

im only going to need 1 RCA out for subs, so yea. but that sony one looks cool. im willing to spend 200-250.

any other ideas? *thanks 96firebird*

If you're willing to spend that kind of money, make sure you can get a HU with at least volume controls for the sub [onboard]. With all the roadnoise our cars make, the difference between the sub setting when I'm going 75mph and standing still is significant.

x2 on getting something with enough preamp voltage.

reccomendations?

i have an alpine, it fully integrates itself with the ipod so you can browse the ipod from the head unit... i'd get that and theyre cheap too...

You mean an EQ with a low frequency band?

Don't box yourself into a corner. Always prepare for the future. Even if you think you'll never upgrade, you never know! [img]smile.gif[/img]
Tough to beat Kenwood's KDC-X889 feature list for that price. Or if you wanna stick with Pioneer's Premier line, step up to the 770MP.

hey check out awe1.com for Clarion, Sony, Pioneer, and Kenwood. I work there so I can maybe get you a deal.

check out some eclipse HU's they are of the highest quality and i have yet you have an issue with any that i have installed for myself or my friends. Clarion is the only brand other than eclipse that i will use anymore, i have had issues with pioneer, alpine, and tons with sony.

[dmw319]

thanks ill look into them.

[96firebird311]

I was waiting for T-punk to mention Eclipse. :D I thought about them, but it's gonna be impossible to get one of the nicer ones for that price new. As for which of the two previously mentioned, it's your call. Features are pretty close and I'm sure you'll be happy with either. Sorry. [img]smile.gif[/img]

its cool. thanks for the reccomendations!
