Help Me Pick A Head Unit Please

[vexter0944 10+ year member]

Thought I'd get an opinion from everyone and looking for some help -

Background -

I bought a JVC KD-DV6200 Mobile DVD http://www.crutchfield.com/S-NDFHjzfMFkv/cgi-bin/ProdView.asp?g=300&I=257KDDV620 from Cardomain.com earlier in the year. In went kind of screwy on me and XM would not work at all or would work when it felt like it - changing channels at it's whim etc...anyway - sent it back for an RMA to cardomain.com about 2 mos ago - still waiting on a return. Anyway - I called Cardomain today to check on the RMA status - and they credited me $250 store credit just to get me a new unit and get me going again since the RMA seems to be stalled @ JVC.

So I have $250 to play with and I can add to that (which I have no problem doing) to get a new head unit @ cardomain.com - so with that being said - here's the setup -

05 Silverado ECSB

Head Unit TDB

Orion Xtreme Amp (200x2) RMS pushing a set of PG Xenon 6.5 Comps

Diamond D5 1200.1 pushing a 12" SI Mag D2

Audio Control EQX

The one thing I got really used to on the new JVC was the USB key - so I'd like to have one with that - otherwise, the only other requirement is XM Radio.

So if you have a minute - please check http://www.cardomain.com/shop and see what head unit you would pick for my setup - thanks for any help you can offer - it's much appreciated!

Anyone - any thoughts?

it sounds like this should fit your needs as well as save you some extra money. Well, at least not having to dish out more than I am sure you would like to.

Thank you for the help viscid240 - I'll take a look at that one - basically I'm just seeing out of what units that cardomain offers what people would pick based on what features I need and what units are a good unit - the Pioneer 6900 looks pretty good too. Any other opinions are much appreciated - thanks!

My buddy has last years 6800 and he loves it. Im a big fan of it. 4v preouts is enough and a 7band eq versus I think that Kenwood had a 3 band. Plus you have $15 to play with.
