HU for $100-130?

[SnowPunk98 10+ year member]

I have a limited budget, I first want to get a good HU but am on a budget. What would you all suggest for something in the $100-130 range. The only real things I would like is MP3 capabilities and a remote if possible.

I eventually will add an amp and composite 6.5" speakers, I only listen to punk and metal music.

The X-590 is a beauty. The sound quality of the Excelon like is excellent. Lot of tweeking abilities. No doubt, you would be hapy with that one. Would be a nice choice.

I agree with MBrock. I have the eXcelon-589 which is esentially the same HU

from the previous generation. I got mine on ebay(from Locust Audio) for $158 shipped around 1 1/2 years ago. You won't get fancy graphics but you'll get a unit which will allow you to dial in the sonics very well.

The last two generations of eXcelon HU's have been the biggest-bang-for-your-buck deals out there.

You made a nice choice with the 590.
