Price on the JVC would be $275 and the Eclipse would be $205 JVC seems to be much more feature rich and flashy, while the Eclipse I'm being told would probably sound a little better. Sound in the car coming from Polk Audio DB6500 components powered by an Audiobahn A1004DP amp and Audiobahn 10" subs powered by an Audiobahn A1502DP amp wired mono 2ohm. Thanks for the opinions. |

"Better internal components" doesn't really tell me much..then again maybe it's not really something that can be quantified. Just looking to hear more technical reasons if people have them. |

New member Username: DosspiderPost Number: 4 Registered: Jun-05 | Possibly take you up on that since it'd be a better deal than the Eclipse at that point if I decide to go that route, mind telling me why you aren't happy with it? |

First of all, touchscreens are stupid unless it's a full size screen (5+ inches). Secondly, the Eclipse has an additional preout for future expansion. Eclipse also has one of the best EQ's on the market. MP3 start speed is probably faster. Input options are better, broader crossover and a remote control. Unless you're super hung-up on some stupid, useless display and actually care about the music, you'd buy the Eclipse. |
