[QUOTE="SteelWheel, post: 952230, member: 561533"] I just had the Eclipse 5425 installed and all I can say is WOW. This thing is some kind of ugly. For any of you who are hoping this unit will look better installed, you can forget it in my opinion. It reminds me of that line in Vacation, "you think you hate it now, wait until you drive it!" Seriously, I had reservations about the tacky appearance before, but opted to buy it due to Eclipse's reputation for SQ. After turning this thing on at night, I now know why all the other reindeer made fun of Rudolph's red shining nose. Also, I certainly hope the controls get to be a lot more usefull as I get used to then. I know, what about the SQ?? I cant really speak to that as I have not changed out my speakers yet. However, I will say that even based on the stock speakers this unit seems to put out a clear sound. I will say that I now feel that I can't cut corners on any of the other pieces in my system --- if I am going to keep this HU, the system as a whole had better sound good. [/QUOTE]
