New SQ HU : Kenwood 25th or Eclipse 8445 ?

kenwood is looking like your choice.?

yes, i think its a good choice....

the x889 its other option -130 bucks vs 25th

the differences :

OEL Display

4 DA 24 Bits for 25th and 2 DA 24bits for x889 (if u listen mp3 or encoded music this difference its bullshi.t)

the clarion 855 looks great too, but i think..... "all show, no go"

what do u think?

if you absolutely need a new HU now, and need it to be a detachable face then get the kenwood but if you wait til end of feb/ early march, the new eclipse HUs are detachable. up to you, but if you end up buying the 8445 (which i would recommend) then make sure you buy it authorized because it comes with a 3 year warranty and a 1 year theft warranty.

the 2006 eclipse HU are expensive?

msrp for the new eclipse HUs should be on par with the 2005 line.

clarion isn't a bad choice. i loved my DXZ745 but loved my eclipse even more. imo i would take a clarion, alpine, pioneer, panasonic, or eclipse before a kenwood
