got my new 8053 today

[s2groove 10+ year member]

i got my new eclipse 8053, and all i can say is, im impressed. 16 volt balanced preouts and 24 bit d/a converter. and the adjustability on this thing is crazy, its got time alignment, 11 band eq and some presets u can choose from. If someone wants to get a quality headuint for under $600, i definetly recomend this one.

ide love to work with an eclipse HU. Maybe if i ever get really into SQ ill look into them.. my HU works real well for my setup.. but ive heard a lot of good things about Eclipse Hu's and they check out to be sweet as hell.. good luck with it man.

how does it sound?

 

[s2groove 10+ year member]

thanx, and it sounds great. i used to own a cdx-c910 a while back, it was a nice unit to. I do like this unit a lil better than the 910, the sound is cleaner and every note is very pronounced.

How did you go about getting yours? I had mine on back order for a month now.

 

[s2groove 10+ year member]

i ordered it at a local shop and got it the next day. they had arrived at the shop the day after i ordered it, they said they got 5 in.

was it a local dealer or from the likes of tweeter or hi fi house?

 

[s2groove 10+ year member]

local dealer named premier auto sound, not a big chain or anything like tweeters or hi-fi buys.

Do you think you can hook me up with a phone number and a Point of Contact. I am interested in buying one and tweeter is slipping on their orders as of late. One more thing are they authorized dealers for eclipse products?

 

[s2groove 10+ year member]

their phone number is (757)484-6822, and yes they are an authorized eclipse dealer, they charged me $549 for the head unit. I dont know if they ship because it's a local shop but im pretty sure they will, after all they are a business.

They have JUST started to fully flood out into shops...

I'd call into the shop you have ordered yours from and ask.

I know Tweeter can *get* them, but as of right now, they are NOT stocking them, they are an on request item only...

I just checked today and they gave me a date of mid July......Just don't understand especially when I ordered the unit they gave me a date of the 16 of June. But thanks for the heads up. Hey Jlaine I just wanted to let you know I have Adire for the components and the brahma's for the subs (still waiting for the install). and soon to be that nice eclipse head unit running the show............

I get mine on Friday. Thanks for the hook up. You should ask for alittle commision on the side.

I would like to get a new Eclipse CD8443 or CD8053 deck. What are the differences between the two?
