i may be in the market for a new headunit before too long and i was wondering what everyone has or recommends getting.
money IS an object... hopefully undert 200
doesnt need to be too fancy, just have one amp and one 12" sub to hook up; maybe two amps if i the other works...
thanks everyone!!!
Personally, i like pioneer, and you can find them for pretty cheap on eBay. I've only used their expensive stuff though, so take this with a grain of salt.
Other good brands though would be alpine, eclipse, and maybe blaupunkt.
If you're going to spend some money, even 200, you might as well get something from a good brand.
I would suggest Alpine, but not even after 5 months the motorized face plate somehow broke and won't move at all. However, the sound quality is excellent and it has alot of nice features. So perhaps get one without a motorized face plate?
Oh, and never ever get a sony deck with mp3 capability, the playback with mp3's is horrid.
for a cheap deck i would say blaupunkt. i put one in my truck 6 years ago and a couple of months ago gave it to my friend, still works like new and sounds good.

If this were last year (2004) I would suggest a Alpine unit in any price range. BUT this year they have slacked a ton. The 9847 would be the lowest I would go with their HU's, and even that is a tad low on the qaulity side. (Not to mention breaking his price range). Your best bet is to find a low end Pioneer Premier, Kenwood Excelon, JVC Arsenal unit. A lower end Alpine unit will still more then satisfy your needs. Even Clarion will suffice.
