I loved my Denon built RFX-8240
Should have never sold the damned thing //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/bawling.gif.6287aa5d1d447c8af063fc9466e822ef.gif

Pioneer FTL- their head units have that nasty ground problem.Eclipse FTL- CD problems

Alpine FTL - Units gone to crap

Kenwood FTL - History of being unreliable.

Clarion FTL - Their head units are ugly as sin.

Pick your poison.

Not a big deal at all. Some people pick silly stuff to care about.

The best thing about my nakamichi is that it looks stock to the untrained Thief... nah... the best thing would be the SQ, right now it makes my stock speakers sound like god... can't wait to get the PG's on my SAX 100.4 with the deadener, can't even imagine the difference it makes.

Plus the illumination choices match my gage cluster... can't beat green and amber... lol I will admit it looks pretty ugly, but it beats out those annoying BB headunits with like the ****ing dolphins jumping around everywhere

The cd players quit and swallow up the cds. I had to send mine in for repair and heard about it happening to mostly all their units.

Weird, is this mainly on the newer unit? I've used a 8443 and a couple of 8053's with no issues at all.

I run a 8V deck because it comes with the features I need as well. The fact that it has 8V pre-outs is just a bonus...high end decks in general have better features and better components than their low-end counterparts, so you're buying a lot more than voltage.

Are you insulting the blue and red dolphins of my wonderful Kenwood Excelon x791?

New JVC's have somewhat impressed me.
