[QUOTE="dbaudio, post: 3092563, member: 577368"] I'm looking to get a new HU to replace the factory one in my new car. I've always used Eclipse and have owned quite a few models they make. I've yet to touch their newer decks though and I am concerned about their quality nowadays. Any comments on the build/quality of their new line of decks as compared to their older ones? Anyway, I was looking at both the CD7100 and 5100 because I can use flash drives with them. I don't care much for the major differences of the black&white screen vs. the color display. I am curious about the EQ of both units though. I would prefer the 24bit DSP and the parametric EQ of the 7100, plus the 8v preouts are definitely a bonus. But is all of that worth it compared to the 3 band parametric EQ and 5V outs of the 5100? I can't pick. Are the 8V outs going to make a big difference over the 5's? I've never used a deck with 8 before and i've got nothing to compare it to. [/QUOTE]
