What head unit would you get?

[cash94 10+ year member]

Im looking for a head unit to replace the alpine cda-117. i had one but sold it. I liked it alot because it had a built in 7 and 5 band eq instead of just bass,treble, etc.. plus i like the sound options that alpine gives you, and it had the usb and ipod connections to hook a flash drive or ipod too. but alpine doesnt make any comparable to it now. i was wondering if anyone knows of another brand that it can compare to like kenwood and pioneer and stuff. im looking for the following if not more in a head unit:

5 or 7 band eq not just bass and treble

ipod/usb connection

3 pre amp outputs

any suggestions will be appreciated. thanks

I like my pioneer avh p5200bt a lot I haven't had a ton of time messing around with it but it has 3 sets of pre outs and it produces good sound to the speakers

Do you have a price range? or anything goes?

anything goes really, i was just looking into the kenwood KDC-BT952HD, seems to be pretty nice

I would choose Pioneer over Kenwood. Kenwood products need to be chosen carefully, or avoided. My dad has a Kenwood DVD/Nav unit, and the screen flickers and has a blue hue to it that goes away when you press around the screen.

The Pioneer DEH-X7500S looks like it would be pretty nice for you.

- 5 Band eq

- Full dot matrix display

- 3 4volt preouts

- MSRP $180
