Ok, so I'm ditching the flipout and going for a traditional head unit. I want something with good SQ, and time alignment, for under $300

Heres what I'm looking at:

Pioneer DEH-P880PRS

Pioneer DEH-P780

Kenwood KDC-X990

Eclipse CD5000 (does it have TA?)

Any other suggestions?

 
Eclipse 8053

Pro's:

-10-band PEQ works excellent and is enough to calm most interiors and/or not quite perfect speaker placement

-Crossover's - easily adjustable, make a change and it is saved (Alpine take note), 0-24dB (nice), accurate

-Display - easy to read under most conditions

-Sound - no noise issues whatsoever, just clean beautiful rich sound

-Time Alignment - easy to set up

-Option to go balanced, optical

-pre-amp only

-8v outputs
