Spend the extra dough and get the Kenwood X869. That's what I just got and it's a great deck. Definately kick down for the Excelon version of that deck.

"hummm have you ever hear of kazaa and imesh ect" Yeah...they are crap. mIRC is the only way to go for free stuff. Rookie.

Meaning you can have two lines of text (album, artist, name, filename, id3, etc) , a clock, a spectrum analyzer and the function keys. You can mix and match those for a multitude of choices. It lets you do just about anything in terms of where you want what text to be shown and all that good...

"you would have to be crazye to just get a deck what plys mp3's because you would be a dumba$$ to have dail up to download them and not only that you would need a cdr and the cds and if you got dal or broadband you will be paying about $40.00 or more just for the inter net" Hmm...I've got a...

If you're talking about the X869 like you were in my other thread, it's the outputs that say Non-Fading on them. Those are the sub outputs.

I like it a lot better than my dot matrix display I had on my Panasonic. It's pretty intuitive and you can customize it a thousand different ways. The only problem I have with it is in direct sunlight, but that's pretty much a given with all of the high end displays these days.

There is one downfall for all of the stupid satallite radio companies....the dumbass antenna that you have to put on your car. It looks like crap and I don't see why anyone would want to put that on their car. Just buy a deck that plays Mp3's and life is good.

I got mine from KNAUDIO on ebay. He's a great seller and he ships very very quicly. Read my post about the X869 for my impressions. Summary: It's badass.

Guys, After looking around and getting advice from some of you I decided to go with the Kenwood Excelon kdc-x869...and I'm **** glad I did. This deck is head and shoulder above the Panasonic mp3 deck I had previously. It's simply amazing in terms of SQ and customization. The SQ settings are...

Yeah, the Eclipse MP3 decks are kinda cheesy looking though. I'll probably just end up with an Alpine at this point. Thanks for all the info, it's appreciated.

Cool, I'll give em a call. Although with the price of the deck and the commander, I'm probably better off going with an Alpine and putting the money in a 4 channel amp to replace my MACH system in my stang.

Thanks for the info JL....any idea how much that commander costs? I'm not too worried about money, but just outta curiosity. Also, is the commander a separate display or is it completely hidden and all of the track info etc. is displayed on the HU. Thanks bro.

Thanks, I'll give them a call in a little bit. How much do the 8443's go for? Any idea? Also how much is this Commander thing that allows you to play MP3's? Is it something that plugs in the back or front or what...what the hell is it? Thanks.

Guys, after finding out there are no real Eclipse dealers online, and none in my area I'm gonna try to go with either Kenwood or Alpine. How's the Alpine 9811? Does anyone have it? I'm comparing that to the Kenwood X869. I'm not sure if I want the dual panel thing so I was also looking at...

Fellas, This is my first post, but I've been lurking for quite a while. Does anyone know a good place to buy the Eclipse HUs online? I'm looking for the 8443 particularly. Also, can this one play MP3's without buying that Commander add-on thing? Any Eclipse info would be appreciated. I'm...
