help with picking my new head unit hey guys i need your help picking my new hu.
its between the eclipse 3200 and the pioneer premere 6000ub.
they both have usb inputs which i like and i want xm and the eclipse is set up for sirius but i can buy optional adaptors for xm to work with the eclipse.
i want an eq and the eclipse has a 3 band basic eq and the pioneer has a 7 band so i can adjust it a little more.
which hu would have better sq and better over all quality?
to me the pioneer looks better.

eclipse is WAY better quality. its not all about the EQ,a nd are you sure it isnt a parametric EQ in the eclipse? im too lazy to look it up, but thats strange for them to have a 3 band EQ and it NOT be parametric.

the spec's say 3 band eq(mid,high and bass)for the eclipse.i like alpine and now i have an older 7892 that has been good but its old and dont have the newer features in it and only has bass and treble adjustments.even the new alpines dont have an eq that i have seen. keep up the opinions guys.

I must agree that Alpine is much more expensive for the same features as Pioneer, but I'd still say I like Alpine. They make a great HU as far as I'm concerned. The same goes with JL. Their amps are outrageously expensive, but good.

I will give you that. I don't like the look of Alpine units, nor do I like the pricing, but I have no issues with the quality. As far as JL amps go, I have a 500/5 and like it very much. I had issues with 2 Pioneer amplifiers before it (one my fault and one not) so I decided to go for a brand that would stand behind it's product. I haven't needed them to yet.

It is. I put one in my Daughter's Cavalier and it almost made me want to take my Eclipse out! It actually had equal or more tuning available, ton better FM reception (almost equal to Supertuner) and the highest dB noise rating for a CD.
