for that price range could quite easily get a good deck from alpine or pioneer, even some kenwood models. For that money et a deck that has at least 5v preouts and 3 of them, nothin better than having sub control. Also independent EQ's and all ya norms, MP3, WMA, SP-Level, etc etc etc. Shop around till ya find somethin ya like

i agree with joolz, go jvc. They are good value for money and have features that you pay s**t loads more for in other brands esp PIONEER SONY and ALPINE. if you can stretch your budget to around 900 get the jvc unit that plays dvd aswell as mp3 etc, its s**t hot.

Pioneer or dare I say alpine......not JVC, not sony. The last two tend to aim for power, not sound quality. My 8540 (pioneer) sounds great, has 3x6.5V outputs and a cool two level effect. You might be able to pick one up for 700-800 because they're discontinued.
My say.......pioneer, definately. But alpine is good too.

Smackdown thats a bit harsh mate putting JVC and SONY in the same put down sentence!!!!
You will prob find with all brands not all models have the high end quality sound. If they all had that quality why pay $1000 for a HU when the $200 one sound the same!!! |

Harsh....yes but I am speaking purely from experience. I've installed, JVC, Sony and Clarion HUs but none have matched the 3 pioneers and 1 alpine i've done. If you take anything out of this........NOT SONY!

Well speaking from experience i have always bought and gone with Alpine, and all i can say its a purchase that i have not regretted as i am always happy with thier products.
I have a lower series HU from 3 years ago and it still kicks a**, obviously features wise its not up to scratch with the lastest bunch but it does the job well. I paid $300 for a $499 HU 3 years ago

Firstly,
go in and try each head unit out, play with there settings and look at there features. For the price you want to spend all the brands in that area are good. Just dont buy sony!!!!!! I reccomend the latest panasonic, it retails for $595. It has front and rear 4v preouts plus a sub out. Has an input aswell. Can have a disc changer connected. Its only 50x4 but you should be running amps anyway. MP3 MWA and cd compatable The eq settings are basic but i prefer that when i'm trying to set up my amps. Like i said any thing in that price bracket is good. Have fun Cheers

Best advice would be to look around and find the best product for the best price basically
Not as hard as you think, with a bit of bargaining/lying you can get some sweet deals.
Thats basically what i have done wheneva i go to buy Car audio. I have already saved myself about $500 atleast (i kid you not). Go around and buy a few catalougues and get the general idea of what the brands tend to sell for. Then go out and try to get ur self a deal

M8 everyone here is going to put forward there own personnal brands, me im a kenwood person, so i would say get a kenwood deck. pioneer and alpine are pretty sweet to and pioneer are one of the friendliest decks to use. Its effectively up to you what you get its your money. shop around abit first find what you like and then start bargining. In a good qaulity deck ensure you have the following
CD/MP3/WMA/CD-RW compatibility 3 RCA Preouts (min 5V) 50wx4 (if you aren't runing amps for F/R) Independant balance/fader/speaker vol for F/R/Sub High level EQ settings. (top line K/W pioneer alpine cadence do this) Cd Changer control AUX input (a bonus on deck, some decks requrie an additional controller for this) Detachable face (2 piece panels work good for this as they fold up) Hey guys instead of bragging about your preferred brand (we are all quilty of this) how about add to the list above and help the guy out... |

You did read the very first post thou didnt you? LOL he wanted to know what WE think are the good brands
Personal opinions aside thou its up to him (just has to make sure to look around a bit first)  As it has been said.
