Can't find a Clarion

[MakkMar10]

I would like to compare:

Clarion FX503

Kenwood DDX771

Pioneer AVH-X4600BT

Any opinions on any of these? I like the Clarion but can't find it for sale. And in a side by side (crutchfield) of the Kenwood and Pioneer, they seem even. I'm more toward the Kenwood IDK why, the equalizer I guess. But open for suggs, looking for 2din $350 give or take.

For that price range you should be looking at Clarion VX404. I can get you FX503 if it's in stock, but it's a $649 head unit. I can make you an offer much closer to your price range on VX404.

How do you feel it compares to the others? I know the vx404 is a 2014 model rite?

VX404 is quite new. We got one of the first units that arrived at our Clarion distributor at the end of April. I haven't seen the Kenwood and Pioneer models you listed. I imagine they're both good in their own ways. Clarion VX404 is currently the fastest double DIN in the line-up. What this means is it's very quick and responsive as you go through the screens and load digital music. It can play FLAC files. It will give you digital audio in from a smartphone if you do HDMI mirroring.

Yea even refurbished I'd b lucky to find it for $450. Anyway, I'm still leaning toward the Kenwood DDX771. Know anything about it? I basically want a 2din (DVD) with good equalizer functions.
