Whats the best unit for this type of cash, from quality brands like Pioneer. to be hooked up with amps, two subs and front splits or 6x9s. please no $159 Rockwood headunit with 4x60, because we all know it would kill your 4x45 Pioneer or 4x50 Alpine unit.

Try one of the alpines, The one I'm about to buy is $699. It is over your price, but it is a really good headunit.

autobarn are selling Pioneer DEH-6450 for $699 now, which i bought... it seems a good price, i know this is also ove ryour price, but they are a sweet headunit Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

there's a new poioneer unit out called the DEHP5550 or something like that retailing for $499 abd it also plays MP3's if i was after a new unit, this is the one i would be picking. Dan. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I'd suggest one of the JVC MP3 decks.

Dan. i saw model DEHP2455(i think it was?) but it dident play mp3's but had mosfet. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

JVC MP3 decks cuz of the multitude of features u get for the money u pay Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

DEH5450 pioneer 50X4 dual RCA preout, mosfet, etc, check out the website www.pioneeraus.com

If you cant afford Alpine, then------> JVC KDSX985 http://www.hifidirect.com.au/product.asp?product=JVC-KDSX985 or Pioneer, thats it!! Look around for the specials DUDE

Yeh definately look at the JVC KD-SX985, great value for money with features to boot such as 3 pairs preouts. Also i dont see why every1 even bothers mentioning the H/U's power ratings, ie 4x50W etc cuz those figures mean *** all seeing as your speakers and subs are generally run off an amp.

Precisely, it is just what sales people do to the un-learned, it sounds good in a sales pitch for them. Seriously, next time they try and tell you what power ratings the head units have, ask them the RMS output, it will always be about 20-25 RMS(if they even bloody know :P )

if you wanna pay $400 more i can give u top of the line pioneer 9450 !! its definately one of the best decks out there..! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

and honestly i would neva bother with power ratings on a H/U RMS or Max. To me it is pointless anyway cuz i dont run any speakers off the H/U and even an amp with the same rms power output of a H/U should sound better.

ummm.. yes... name me another deck that you can upload/download jpg's to, has an insane eq on board, has over 45 different customizable backgrounds/movies... reads mp3s with a folder system that can collapse into 100+ folders, has an awesome blue lighting , looks insane....... for under 1400 ?? it may not be the best, but it is definately up there....

it all depends what you are basing your opinions on cheif, my deck is a much better deck, just doesn't look as fancy(which is why its hidden, and the Alpine LCD screen is displayed). you originally said it is one of the best decks out the which is a big call, and is wrong. Denon would wipe the floor with it too start with. But it is one of the best decks for under $1400 which is what you said in your 2nd post.

It is one of the flashiest decks then, not one of the best decks

Go for Alpine. Always ahead of the rest. Try the CDM-7874EB RRP$499 but i got one for $400 with cash sale.

Does it actualy play music? :mrgreen: hehe I've never like pioneer stuff (personal opinion of course), JVC or Alpine are the two brands I prefer, I'd alos buy kenwood gear too Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
