Silver Member Username: MendonmafiaUSA Post Number: 448 Registered: Aug-06 | eclipse is nice but make sure your amp can accept at least 5 volt pre outs or else you will over drive your amp and cause clipping. I still dont understand the point of having preouts this high, i mean i know it helps reduce noise and requires less amping and provides a cleaner signal but not many amps can even accept that high of preouts, and the 16 volt hu, thats just stupid. seriously tho what amp will accept 16 volt preouts. |

Silver Member Username: TejcurrentPost Number: 955 Registered: Apr-07 | A guy who worked at CC with me bought their best double din, set him back almost 2k. 2 months later I saw him and asked how he liked it, and he told me he was getting something else. Some problems with the I-pod interface and GPS. For the most part they have some really solid equipment, but I sort of lean towards Alpine for h/us. Call me oldschool, but I like how their layout hasn't really changed since the days of the tape deck |

Gold Member Username: ShortysetniesRock Vegas, NC US Post Number: 1606 Registered: Mar-06 | I love alpine HUs and until I get screwed over by one I will stay with them. I had the 9835 and it was a great unit. Dont know if you could find one but I bet they are going pretty cheap. I dont know anything about the newer ones. |
