I have a panasonic and I love it. It looks good and sounds great and the price is reasonable.

One reason everyone loves eclipse is because their preamp output level's are very high, I believe that some of them even come with 14V preamp outputs... compared to most other headunits that give you 2 or 4, or maybe 6 if you get a high end unit

Re: Best Head Unit

years ago when I gave my 2cents to this poll (#23), I had about 300 post under my name, (the count wasn't right then either), now I'm up to one hundred and something...

Re: Best Head Unit

Pulling up an old thread.....

I happen to dislike all recent HU's they all have the stupid tilt volume buttons that are getting way. They are to flashy and just really turn me off. I like my old panisonic from 2005, its plain looking but it has the 7 band eq along with the 5v preouts and 2 aux inputs, something i can't find any more. Stick it to this iPod crap Creative ZEN for LIFE!!!!

Don't ever look at cars as just imports or domestics. Just because a car is made in a certain country doesn't mean that it is anything like another car from that country. An example of this is Mitsubishi reliability, just because they are Japanese doesn't mean that they are as reliable as a Honda or Toyota.
