What I did essentially was set a price point, compare stats from each unit and voila, ended up with my Pioneer (insert gibberish number here from car registry). I really saw no need for graphics since well, I tend to keep my eyes well, on the road, but XM capability and decent overall expandability were a necessity. The sound adjustability is insane considering I've had it for over a month and still can't get it right. It was that or a similarly priced Alpine which had a slightly higher CD S/N ratio but not the customization I desired.

 

I just go the Sony MEX-5DI and should be receiving it on Monday. I love this headunit.

 

I got some good head unit once... In an alley !!

 

Forget all the fancy lights- if you want competition quality sound, it's all about Eclipse.

 

Im looking at the Pioneer DEH-P8500 can get it for $400 instead of $550...........brand spankin new!

 

How about the EH-P8500MP (MP3) for $360

This is credit to someone else but the prices Rock on this site!

DAMN................those prices are AWESOME!

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!

you ROCK!

 

Someone posted it hear before in a thread and I saved it cause they we're so damn cheap!

 

Well, spank you once again!!!!!!!!!

 

I believe there all well as long as there properly matched with amps and speakers

 

You didn't let us choose more than one in the poll, Pioneer and Kenwood are tied at the top for me. I am a little wary about JVC, because my last changer from them skipped after only 6 months, and it was the model with "extra shock protection"

 

Im definitely gonna get the 8500 - I'm gonna talk with my friends, see if they can go that low for me!

 

Price went down to like 351 on Ike.

 

its now 341.

that's an awesome freaking deal. i got my 8400 before it came out with my best buy employee discount at 320. no discount, and only 341?! i might get that one soon. sick hu.
