Clarion HU - The good and bad?

[Mark_ab 5,000+ posts]

I was taking a look at the Clarion DXZ715. I'm thinking of replacing my Sony HU, it is noisy, and makes an odd sound when it's playing. I've heard about the good SQ from this deck, but also that the 24bit-D/A Converter is very touchy. Is it worth it to get this deck? I'm looking to spend about 200 bucks (american) but will go higher if need be. What are the top choices for SQ and looks?

I have this deck and it is great ! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif I have yet to find any problems with it . Everything I play sounds crisp and clear . I definitely think it is worth the money . It also offers room to expand . There is plenty of RCA's in the back .Right now I am only using the non fader set which is a seperate fader for your subs . This is my second Clarion deck and both have been excellent . If you have any other questions let me know //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

I've heard that they are a bit of a pain to install. What's the word on this?

No problem to install .Took me about 15-20 min. if that to put in . Of course I was installing it in a chevy pick up which has got to be one of the easiest vehicles to get the H.U. out of , but I can not imagine any vehicle being too hard as long as you get the correct wiring harness and dash kit .
