What are you looking for in a headunit exactly? Personally I love my 80prs. It's a bit to get used to but it's actually quite good. I do everything with my remote. Are you specifically looking to run active with the headunit? If so, there's an alpine alternative but the newer decks these days feel really flimsy and cheap compared to the oldschool stuff.

Alpine 149 or 164

Kenwood x998

Come to mind

Eclipse HU's are ANCIENT at this point. They were great don't get me wrong, but **** that's an old HU to drop in....

depends what you need from a head unit. If you need active networks, only pioneer and JVC is capable of that right now. If you plan on just slapping a pair of components/coaxials and sub then kenwood and alpine will be enough for you.

basically advanced setups, pioneer and jvc. Noobie front stage setups, kenwood and alpine.

moving to a different vehicle and box is currently being made. should be done by fri. i have fiddled with the 80 prs this weekend and seemed to be too cheesy.. but everyone has good ratings and review on em.

The 80prs takes alittle while to get used to in network mode but they are well worth it if you are running active.

yeah thats a basic front stage setup. You wont gain anything by getting an 80 prs. You wont even tap into 10% of the head unit's capabilities.

i doubt he has the tuning knowledge to use a DSP properly especially with his basic front stage setup.
