Re: Best Head Unit

panasonic

I think it is the CQ-DF363U(sat, mp3, c.d, f.m/a.m)

Mine never skips on any kind of bump.

I have had it for a while!

Re: Best Head Unit

I have a Sony...it's alright, I guess.

But from what I've seen, I think Eclipse is the best. They may not have the best looking headunits, but the sound quality is freakin' awesome. I'm hoping to upgrade mine to the top-of-the-line Eclipse player soon.

Re: Best Head Unit

I've had a pioneer for about 6/7 years now..(35w x 4 if that says anything)..It has never failed me and has only skipped once when I ran into the back of another car at a red light going 15. Have a Kenwood DDX7105 double din in-dash DVD being installed next week so my mind may change.

Best is definately Pyle...j/k

Re: Best Head Unit

i don't know, i put a blaupunkt in my cousin's car. she liked it but then again she just wanted something that played cd's. she wasn't an audiophile like us.
personally i wouldn't get one. i had a jvc that my dad's friend gave to me and it lasted a good 4 years for me (not to mention the 5 that was in his car) it eventually crapped out and i bought an alpine and i flippin love it.
i was looking at pioneer but didn't really like the buttons configurations and stuff.
my friend had a sony and it sucked more than a hoover.

Re: Best Head Unit

not the best for the money.... they are better but they cost more for equivelant models and even though this is a small issue they look hideous, like a stock HU from the 80's

Re: Best Head Unit

Blaupunkt DO like hideous, I hate the way they look but they seem to be pretty good. I love my panosonic - mp3/wma player, 7 band eq, 5 volt preouts and 25Wx4 (btw, has anyone seen/heard that new 60W a channel one?), and I really like the way they look.
