Can anyone one suggest a headunit with the most features for under $300? Upgrading from my Pioneer DEH-P3500 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

U can pick up a higher end pioneer off ebay for less than $300 and have a ton of options to mess with. 760 premier would be a good choice, has mp3 capabilities. If you would like to stick with pioneer.

i saw an alpine 9833 on ebay for $279 but shipping was $29. if you look hard enough you can find an 8600 for that price. an 8600 is a much better improvement over the 7600

8600 on ebay is goin right at 300 and then plus shipping which was like almost 30 bucks. the 760 was only in the 230 price range and plus s/h

*edit* The 8600 is goin for $300 +$30 s/h=330

The 7600 is goin for $200+$30s/h=230

$100 difference on ebay and as stated under $300 which the person might be able to go above that but I'm just trying to help. Not to start an arguement on which one is better

it's worth it save up an extra $30 and get the 8600. i use to own a premier 750 and the 8600 is by far better then the 750 which is pretty much the same as the 7600

IMO this is the best choice...Although theres a typo on the voltage preouts. Theyre only 3V @100Ohm

My guess is it is a typo. It is a "3" series deck so it has 2.7V/300 ohm pre outs(I think Eclipse has the best pre outs, top to bottom, in the business). The spec sheet on their website indicates 2.7V as well.

I would take a 2.7V eclipse over many "4V" decks from other companies.

To the original poster....you do realize "most features" doesn't necessarily equate to "best," right?

Definately a typo...3 series equates to 3V (2.7) 5 series..5V, 8 series..8V,etc..

Too ban theyre not Authorized for Alpine. Then again Ebay isnt for anything. Call me old fashioned, but a warranty is a must.

Thats even worse than the Alpine as far as warranty. Giving up 3 years and a year of theft replacement....

The real question is, what do you give up for those extra features ? ...

exactly... why are you kids so obsessed with bling and features on POS deck. to the inexperienced, any good you could do with those features is actually used to screw the signal up some more. get an actual good transport and you'll even spend less
