Undecided on what to get

[Dieni 10+ year member]

I am in need of a HU for my new setup, and dont know yet what to get.

I dont leave in US, nor in UK, so no Eclipse etc... I have to get whats available here and whats at a reasonable price

First I was thinking about a HU with mp3, but for the mp3 support I think that I will lose some of the quailty and features of a better HU. Listed below are the HU I have been looking at, note the Kenwood, the Clarion DXZ718R and the Clarion DXZ728R are about the same price. The DXR828R is about $60 more while the DXZ618R is about $30 less than the Kenwood

Kenwood KDC-M6021G HU -- http://www.justkenwood.co.uk/stock01/kdcm6021g.asp

Clarion DXZ828R HU - http://www.clarionworld.co.uk/stock/dxz828r.asp

Which do you think I should go for, considering I am going to have a set of 6x9s and a sub running from an amplifier and a set of 4" or 5" components from the HU.

You might wanna have a look at my other thread over here http://forums.caraudio.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=22161&perpage=15&pagenumber=1

Dont take care of the prices shown there, cause I live in Malta not UK. The thing is that over here prices are even more expensive.

The Kenwood M6021G costs about $420 so does the Clarion DXZ718R and the DXZ728R. Thats why I told you not to mention other brands, cause they are even more expensive.

For example the Alpine 7894 the one which plays mp3 costs $850, quite amazing for a price.

At first I was looking in getting a HU from ebay, but than not everybody would ship over here and I think that the radio system is differrent in US than in Europe.
