For my birthday I'm getting a new head unit and speakers in my car
I was wondering what is the best out there
I've looked into all the major brands like Alpine, Pioneer, infinity, etc.
I also have two 12" subs in the back so its gotta sound good and hit hard
Plus I might be getting for new subs so if you want two Punch P2 subs in a box plus an amp let me know
thanks guys
 


Ur gonna get alot of mixed responses from this post...I personally have always had pioneer premier head units and never has a single problem out of them.Eclipse...clarion...alpine...are all good decks.Its really gonna come down to what u want for looks as all of these brands are very good.Go to diff stereo stores and bring a CD that u like and play it in all the ones u like and see what u think has better sound...Dont go the cheap route...ur gonna spend at "least" 300 bucks for a decent deck... IMO
 
^^^^ so true about differnt responses....

my opnion is get the ALPINE...You wont regret it, they make a powerful 65x4...also as GTPINSC said, pioneer premier is good too!
 
My opinion is:

Alpine used to be good they can be better now. My biggest issue with them now is the dropped the Vdrive amp in their HU.

Eclipse very good, pioneer good.

My 3 choice are above
 
I've been running the same Pioneer deck in my car for the past 5 or 6 years now, so that's kinda where I stand. But, I also like Alpine. Either on of those and you should be very happy.

i pay no attention to what any company advertises for output per channel...ur only gonna actually get half of what they say u are
 
I've used pioneer, panasonic, and alpine and for the money i paid and the functionality i got i have to say my alpine 9885 is the best i got. bought if off of crutchfield when it was on sale and they threw in the ipod adapter cable to boot as a promotion item and i could not be happier with it and when you can get the humount mounting kit. it's a little bit of money but well worth it.
 


I didn't want to spend a whole lot of dough on mine. But I got a kenwood KDC deck which i'm quite pleased with. Nothing increadible to look at but it's simple and matches the interior okay. For speakers I went with Infinity Reference for the 6.5s and 6x9s. They had the best high and mid range clarity that i could find. I don't need much for subs so i went the cheap route and got the DUAL 12s that come already in a bandpass box with a 450 watt amp. Nothin that'll break your ears, but just about anyone who sits in my car compliments the balanced sound the whole package gives. The kenwood deck was about 150, infinity speakers, about 300 for all four plus tweeters. and 200 for subs and amp.
