OMG not another HU questions... Specific for my setup

[iLLuZionZ]

So the Boolean search method eludes me. I am trying to order something today. The setup is simple 2 DC level 2 8" subs, a cheepo Audiopipe APSM-1300 amp and (2) CDT Audio CL 61 CV components for the fronts. The components will be running on the HU amp until we replace the rear speakers as well and at that point I will go with a nice 4 channel.

With this setup in mind what would you audionuts recommend? I really like the Eclipse 7200MKII but am having a hard time finding a nice like new condition one anywhere.

Ipod connectivity is a must and bluetooth would be a huge plus. If I was trying to keep this ~$350, what would you all do with my setup in mind?

I know this is largely subjective and I will get a ratsnest of answers but I wanted some input so I could get this badboy ordered!

Thanks in advance,

Josh

You don't need an Eclipse CD7200MKII unless you are going to take advantage of running active and using time alignment from that deck...imo.

I like my Clarion deck better than I liked my Eclipse CD5100. Sounds better, to get the Eclipse to sound right I had to use the EQ to boost the treble and midrange, with the Clarion it sounded balanced out of the box. Just my $0.02.
