Wow. I last posted in this thread on 8-29-05

Well, I got that HU I said I was going to get. Eclipse CD8455.

Since then I have also acquired an CD8443, a clarion 7770 and a clarion DRX9575Rz

I still use the 8455 as mine and the wife gets the 8443.

Why? The 8 volts for my ZPA amp and the features, flexibility and quality of both HUs.

I always find myself going back to Eclipse units...just so easy to use compared to the Alpines I have messed with. If I can help it, I'll never use anything other than an 8053 for as long as I can..just too clean and too easy to use. 3-way active capable with up to 24db/oct slopes, 8V pre-outs, 6 bands of EQ for the mids and 6 more for the highs(selectable between many different frequency options, not just 6 set-in-stone points.), independent t/a and level control for each speaker, easy navigation through the unit as well as it being visually easy to do the crossovers/eq-ing since it's all one big picture on the screen.

All for $150-200? I'll take it.

I currently have a sony, as does my mother.. and my dad a kenwood, but most my homies use alpine lol

Only had two decks, one was a cheap starter deck (pioneer) from walmart. lol. Currently I have the DEH-5000UB, I love the USB jump drive/flash drive feature. I like this headunit because it has the features I like and use, plus simple enough for the gf to use the unit without screwing the settings up.

I am looking for the next unit to buy, I think it will be a toss up between a Clarion and the trusty Pioneer (if pioneer I'll be moving into the premier series).

I have an eclipse 7100 for the time being. Love the sound and the features. Miss the ipod controls of my alpine. Probably going to trade/sell mine and get a 9887.

I have this Eonon E1062 DVD, I like it very much, good sound quality and screen, and service it the fastest I've ever met. Worth the price indeed!
