I hav always liked Pioneer head units. I;ve used them since I have owned a car. Never had a problem with any of them.

Actually, that was my buddy's Ipod. I've since then put in the kenwood ip-500 instead. The cord in that pic was included with the cd player from Crutchfield. Now everythings in the glove box out of sight.

I have a 9855 that I bought authorized. Barely been used, it's out of warranty, and the laser gets out of alignment. Not going to drop the money on repairing it, it's a POS with mad problems.

Eclipse is the only way to go for high quality head units, or Clarion. There are other exclusive brands like Nakamichi, etc, but Eclipse and Clarion are the best common brands.

Personally I like Clarion and JVC. They both make great decks. But if your shopping for any deck and want a half decent one your going to spend around or over $200. I have a JVC deck in my car. Model # KDG230 It's one of the lower ones cause I was being a cheap *** but it's still really nice. And what is all the hype with alpine. They might be good decks but they are not the best.
