Head Unit

Silver Member Username: DurskiPost Number: 169 Registered: Nov-06 | I'm going to repost this here cuz I'm afraid no one will see it in the HU section. http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_10195_Boss+BV7950.html Anyone ever heard of BOSS? I spent too much on my sub + amp + box and thinking I can save a little on my HU. All I want is USB on the front of the HU. This one does a lot of things for the price, which is why I am cautious to get it with out hearing what you guys think first. One thing that caught my eye is that it uses a 1 bit D/A converter and most others use a 24 bit, does that matter that much? If Anyone has a HU with USB input on the front of it they wanna get rid of let me know, budget < $150. |

Silver Member Username: DurskiPost Number: 170 Registered: Nov-06 | Yeah those premiers are great, but out of my price range. I'm not doing any comps or anything, just daily bump, will I not be able to get something decent for $150 or less? |

Gold Member Username: Bnd_rulezPhoenix, AZ USA Post Number: 1090 Registered: Mar-05 | Well that Boss was $180 and you were looking at it, that Pioneer is what you are looking for, with the USB and all and it's $214 from Sonic. I would wait it out for like 2 weeks and get the extra cash and get the Pioneer. Thats just my $.02 |

Silver Member Username: DurskiPost Number: 172 Registered: Nov-06 | you can see how easily I let my budgets get out of control, lol. I thought for the price it had some cool features, the one I liked the most was that it didnt use old school dot matrix or 14 point flouro, I think the dot / flouro would make browsing music on a flash drive difficult. Watchin movies would be cool even though its a 3 1/2" screen. Anyway im staying away from boss now, Anyone know of a better brand with a similar display? |

Gold Member Username: Bnd_rulezPhoenix, AZ USA Post Number: 1095 Registered: Mar-05 | For that price.. not going to happen. There is no such thing as a budget when it comes to car audio. I usually just go broke for a week so I can get something. |

Silver Member Username: DurskiPost Number: 173 Registered: Nov-06 | That JVC KD-G830 looks like it covers all the bases. Does anyone know if the flouro display is actually capable of producing multi color display? It says 1728 variable colors, does that mean I have to choose one of those but it won't use more than 1 at a time? |

Silver Member Username: Demon_prideCrowder, Oklahoma USA Post Number: 246 Registered: Oct-05 | I have the Pioneer Deh-880. I LOVE IT. I've had an older Alpine and I liked it too. I heard the Alpines have been going down hill though. |

Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Northwest PA Post Number: 5247 Registered: Jul-06 | If you just want USB and don't need the LCD display, then you've got one good option: http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?from=R40&_trksid=m37&satitle=kd-ar880&c ategory0= Don't bother with JVCs low end series, get the Aresnal line if you go with them. |
