IMHO

JVC Arsenal > Alpine > Kenwood > Pioneer

I cant put eclipse on that list because i have never had one but JVC Aresenal HU's are amazing.

I dont think there have been many advances in HU technology in a long time. Optical outputs would be sweet.

Alpine had optical outputs on the CDA-7939 in the mid 90's, and the CDA-7949 in the late 90's.

That's a nice looking unit with the exception of the display. I've seen Dual's at Wal-Mart with nicer displays

shell out 1200? why? because we are left with only few options.

look at the features of the earlier alpine models

look at the features on kenwood units from 2-3 years ago

look at the features of 8600 500 dollars and DEH-P880PRS 800 dollars

add a USB to them and there wouldnt be need for anything else

where are those features now?

and btw the clarion is great features except it is a one ugly mafakin unit that looks like it was stolen from a startrek voyager ship... and no rotary volume knob.

this needs to be the standard though.. amps, decks and all

optical outputs would require alot more labor.

are you willing to pay extra for the install? typical consumer would not care much about signal to noise ration since most of the music is noise as well.

 

[groundpound4200 5,000+ posts]

I install my own stuff and how is there any extra labor involved?
