What is the best setup that has very good SQ, slightly overdone bass, and good value?

Hey all, I am looking for the same setup, just with a bigger budget. I first looked into double din units but after some research, none really do what I need with great SQ. I am looking for SQ over SPL. So I scratched all the double din units in favor of the (at least by specs) single din units. My choices are these:
Kenwood KDC X997

Kenwood KDC BT955HD

Alpine CDE-HD148BT

Pioneer DEH 80PRS (heavily leaning towards this one)

My quest is sound quality, sound quality, and sound quality. Oh yeah, did I mention I am looking for the excellent sound quality? LOL

In your own experience, which of these decks has the best sound quality?

The 80 is the better deck out if your choices here Might wanna consider a processor as well. Do a 3 way active front stage once that's set up right then work on the sub stage. Take a look at the Dayton subs. Very nice for the money. Also if you can find a good price on a Tc based sub that's another great option. Also don't skimp on the wires. Go ofc all around and a nice set of rcas as well also 100 mil deadener on the front doors for the front stage. There are some good brands out there. Best bang for the buck doesn't always apply especially in a sq system
