Anyone have any favourite headunits they'd like to post here? I'm also looking at some of the reasons why you like/ chose the particular brand/ model

Suggestions would be appreciated

Alpine all the way jed.. I currently have a Pioneer cant remember the code cause I have it a year now...I am thinking of getting the black one that plays DVD's and MP3's or a base line Alpine deck to just cleans things up a bit

I'm waiting on Alpine to make a IVA-D910. If they have plans of it at all.

nice niec... any more?

What models you guys using right now? Any complaints/ 'woulda prefer if's'

I've used the Pioneer DEH1500 and the Kenwood MPV5025 before...

the pioneer is very limited with respect to features and the pre-amp voltage output but is very simple to use and reads just about any condition CD to put in there...the Kenwood played clean at higher volumes but EQ settings were very limited and the menus were a chore to hafta use

using CDA 7894 right now...nice HU but I believe it has a tendency to up the bass slightly at lower volumes...but that may well be the amplifier tho
and as u approach say 80% of ur total volume it helps to have ur subwoofer volume as low as possible to avoid it clipping the signal

those are minor things to get around...but ah woulda prefer if the treble setting on the Alpine EQ had a bandwidth adjustment just like the bass setting and that u could adjust the Q point of the subwoofer section

ALPINE - CDA-9835 I REALLY LIKE THIS CAUSE IT SO USER FRIENDLY PLUS IT ALLOWS ALOT OF TUNNING OPTIONS, I REALLY ,REALY LIKE THAT ALPINE ALLOWS U TO SAVE SO MANY CROSS-OVER AND EQ SETTING , THIS ENABLES ME TO TUNE MY SYSYEM TO SUIT MY MOOD AT A TOUCH OF A BUTTON, PLUS ALL THESE SETTINGS CAN BE DONE ON-LINE AND SAVED ON A CD ,SO U CAN INSTALL THEM EAISLY INCASE YUH BATTRY IS DISCONNECTED, ALSO WITH THE AI-NET CONNECTOR IT WAS EASY FOR ME TO ROUTE THE AUDIO FROM THE DVD PLAYER THRU THE HEAD UNIT

i was mackoing thru the manuals.. the deq is very very complex. the time delay is outta this world.
dont think i would enjoy sitting in the car with all that pink noise fiddling with some knobs to adjust nah. much prefer my eqt's anyday.

nigel1977 · Postby **nigel1977** » August 31st, 2005, 10:35 pm

Eclipse makes pretty decent stuff.....used a couple of the older models myself and was quite impressed by the quality in sound it produces......havent tried the new model ones as yet but would be playing with them shortly.

nebody dig up with the copper chassis clarion and used the fiber optic output?

Postby SR » September 1st, 2005, 8:23 am

alpine's copper chassis unit from about 8 years ago was da bomb with optical out

~snYper~ · Postby **~snYper~** » September 1st, 2005, 8:28 am

^^
I knew a guy who had one... Steven from 'Rhino Sounds'. He used the Digital Out with the Processor.

I wasn't too impressed with its performance, but thaas prolly becuz of his 'tuning capability' (as if he had any) :roll:
