Hello there everyone, long time no see. After I bought my last sub/amp combo, I kind of dropped off of this board. Well, I need help again!
I am currently using a anzar 1600VBD cd player as my head unit. I have decided that it *****, and I need a new, high quality deck.
Here are the feratures that I would kind of like to have:
Flip down, prefferably detach, face.
Muting on no sound (elimiate hiss)
Variable Sub output
a nice internal amp
rotary knob
decent crossover
a **** PAUSE BUTTON!!! (shakes fist at lanzar)
Good FM radio to make up for crap antanea
45-50 watts per channel
A nice display
MP3 is a maybe, but not required
no need for changer controls
I want something to this effect, and I am willing to spend around $300 on it.
As for a nice, OEL style display: I wonder how much of my $300 goes to nice sound as opposed to a nice screen. I interested more in great sound than sub-par graphics of a dolphin. if I want a tv screen, I'll buy a tv screen. However, if the deck is awesome and the screen is included, I'll consider it.
I am currently looking at the Alpine CDA-7892, the Panasonic CQ-DFX572U, pioneer DEH-P7400MP, and the Kenwood KDC-719. Does anyone have an opinion or other suggestions?
Oh, yea, if you recommend sony, I hereby disallow your talent of speech. I've seen how the PS2 stands up to abuse, and I refuse to buy a deck that has disk read errors.
Thanks a ton all.
