What's so great about Eclipse HU's?

good to know!

so basically the eclipse lets you get better sound out of the speakers that you have wired to your HU?

and it also has a lot better controls to get better quality sound.

 
Your a flash and dash idiot eh?
Headunits are good for more than just looks and fancy touchscreens

Eclipses have great eq tuning abilities, good rca outs, reliable and look good


no, i'm a guy that hasn't gotten enough information yet about the higher end side of car audio.

not just what's wired to the HU, but the speakers on outboard amps as well. the HUs are known to sound beautiful out the box and not needing outboard eqs, crossovers, and linedrivers. If you were to add up the price of a cheaper HU, the linedriver, outboard eq, and maybe even crossover necessary to sound as good as the eclipse, that package would be more than just an eclipse HU by itself. Make sense?

 
yea that does make since.

don't know exactly what linedrivers, outboard equilizers, and crossovers do yet though. but i get your point of it being cheaper to go with the great eclipse HU instead. I didn't know till know that the HU affected that much //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eek.gif.771b7a90cf45cabdc554ff1121c21c4a.gif

 
I just have a Panasonic that I threw in so that I could hook up subs. First install of my life on that one. It's just running all my factory speakers, haven't really noticed a change in SQ through the speakers against the stock HU. (Speakers do get distorted with low, loud bass)

ftl????

"buy a better deck with HPF and LPF and at least 4V preouts so you don't have to jack the gain on your amp(s) up."

could you give some examples?

and preouts are the RCA ports on the back of the HU right? Mines only got 1 set and it's hooked up to my amp RCA's. Pretty sure it doesn't have LPF and HPF, just bass and subw level.
