[QUOTE="audiofx81, post: 946355, member: 560978"] i picked up the CD8445, Would have went with last years higher model for less money but i really wanted to keep my sirius and keep it direct connected. Atleast this way i got my full 3yr warranty and 1 yr theft gaurentee. by the way I love the unit, everyone knows the PROS of the unit so i will list a few things i consider cons (for my partifcular needs) CONS: 1) No more gold pre-outs on 8v models :/ come-on eclipse for this $ make me happy (no biggie though) 2) The Time Correction sucks (unless im doing something wrong) Its basically presets. You choose door or dash for your tweets and for rear speakers door or other (rear deck) Im upset with this 3) E-Iserv sucks so far as i get errors burning the file to disc and trying to laod audio settings or motion picture (i bet it will work fine when i get a mem stick, i bought a 512 pro for $50 at costco only to realize the unit onl takes regular sticks and max 128) So far other then that, i really like the unit and still feel out of the cons that i did not need to pay another $100 for the CD8455, Although that model does have better time correction i've heard, and the 3 extra PEQ bands. The extra EQ settings dont bother me as if I find my cars sound isnt up to par with the 7 band my unit has ill wind up adding zapco 30 bands to my setup. [/QUOTE]
