im curious about these new jvc decks too. their name isnt usually branded as one of high quality, but their new line of head units actually seem worth looking into. i really liked the touchscreen feature of the kd-5000 (i think was the model) and it looked like a pretty high end deck. anyone have any other opinions?

i would not recommend the jvc if you have a nicer system, the one i have (model in sig) likes to skip when i have my stuff cranked up really loud. im actually selling for a alpine 9831 or 9835.

Well I can say that I have an older LX-50 deck (Their top of the line Kameleon deck at the time, was the same as the SH series in features and functionality, more so actually) Anyway, I have had the deck for over 3 years now and I still like it a lot. It has only skipped when I hit a MAJOR pot hole in the road (the ones where your like OH ****) Anyway, I think JVC is a great brand IF you get their high end stuff. I am actually looking at the SHX-900 right now as I am interested in the HD radio function of the deck.

JVC is terrible, not even close. ALPINE ALL THE WAY! A highest end alpine is waaaay better than the highest end JVC. The only thing about my Alpine was that it skipped a little.
