Are eclipse headunits good?

I'm asking this question because Im looking for a new headunit and since eclipse is famous for being "good" I took some time to take a look at eclipse, they look like crap!!!..I don't know but the quality looks cheap, as of a jensen or a dual.

i don't like the looks of them either, but i've heard a lot of good things about them. i almost bought a cd5000, but then decided to go with alpine.

older units were notorious for skipping, and so got the name "eskips", but from what i've seen and heard of the current ones, they are actually of very good quality and full of high end features. Dual is simply flashy.

Then they probably are pretty good.....but after what I saw, I don't think I'll buy one (ever)

the quality of most mass market stuff has gone WAY downhill in the last like 5 years or so.

true

I have a really close friend who passed away and he ran an eclise system in his elcipse spyder. This thing was crazy!!! he had an eclipse head unit, two eclipse 12" subs an eclipse amp and an awsome capacitor(I dont know what brand) the head unit was awsome, it is one of eclipse's high end models, I don't know the exact model # but I can find out, his parents are putting his car in a car show this wednesday and I'm putting mine in as well.

I'm in da process of getting the latest Eclipse CD7000,if you want a headunit wit lots of features then yeah go for it but i dont really noe much about the rest but would assume they good,i also wasnt gonna buy it because it looks like it will fall to pieces but will have 2 wait and see if it does haha

What speakers are you lookn at using?

I already have fosgate speakers with an amp

Id get a panasonic over that eclipse you can get them for half the price with about the same amount of features except the GPS crap.
