Best H/U for under $300

[ewoevo 10+ year member]

I'm in the market for a "new" h/u for my car. It can either be single or double DIN. I want a good sounding one as I'm working on an sq setup. I'm not going all out competition, but will probably do some from time to time. Eventually I'll put in an MS-8, so I will have that outboard processing capability. I do need bluetooth and am open to most any brands. I just haven't bought a new h/u in a while and don't know what's good anymore, so I'm turning to you guys for help. Also, it can be a used one, it doesn't have to be new from a store. However, I don't want one that's beat up either. Thanks in advance!

Get a nice used 880prs off ebay or look into the kenwood excelon line along the lines of a x-993 or what ever the new model is.

Thanks. I'm also looking at the Sony XAV62BT.

Well, I've pretty much decided I'm going to buy a h/u and put it on my BB card. If some of y'all can give me some input as to the DD ones on BB.com I would greatly appreciate it! Nav is not a necessity.

pioneer 4300 would be my choice. 8 band eq,3 sets 4v..Good unit.

Sony : XAV62BT looks interesting. Only 2v though.

Has the 300 dollar buget gone up since you're using the bb card?

The above units can obv be found cheaper if you don't go the bb route.

Sorry, but yeah, I'll set my budget at $800.

Well, I picked up an MS-8, so I'll have plenty of processing & time alignment now. Decisions decisions.

Any of the older dead head Eclipse units will fit the bill and most will be under your budget. Mine (5303r) was bought for $100 shipped and its **** near mint. No...you can't have it either //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
