Well I had a cheap Pioneer DEH-1400. It sounded OK but the Clarion I'm using now, (in my sig) sounds twice as good. If that helps any.

the only sound difference that I noticed when making a switch from a bottom of the line JVC unit to the Pioneer one I have is I get no more skipping. No actual music difference to me. But some say they would be able to hear a difference.

me neither, but always keep my HU set flat and just use the preouts.

i dont think the difference in hu will give out a better sq...but one might offer more functions for you to fine tune the sound...which would then be better sq. And another is for quality parts as well..

I have heard differences among head units so yes, they can make a difference, imo.

muahahahaha !!!!!!!

External EQ will prob make somewhat of a difference if you added it onto a cheap-o H/U

Without a doubt .... But it hugely depends on the system supporting it. The higher quality your amps , spkrs , ect are , the more differences you will hear between HU's. If your entire system is competition quality , then a HU swap will be VERY noticible , if you have a decent system , but not really what you'd call " high end " you won't really notice that much.

i had a mid level panasonic, i upgraded to a clarion 745mp with the 24bit DA converters and out of ALL the upgrades, high end speakers, high end amps, blah blah blah, upgrading the head unit was the MOST noticible upgrade i ever did.
