Looking for HU with AUX Input

Im looking for a HU that supports auxiliar input..

Looking too for a clear crisp sound..

Alpine, Clarion anything really good..


PS: better if it can move the face in angles, for low position of the HU.

If getting any Pioneer. . . a CD-RB10 or CD-RB20 Ip-Bus to RCA input adapter is needed.

CD-RB10 (adapter)
CD-RB20 (adapter with IP-Bus throughput)

For the Alpine HU's you need one that either supports a CD Changer or XM Radio, then get the AI-Net adapter. It's like $29.99.

Look into the new eclipse hu's. What were you looking to spend,? the eclipse hu's this yr are much much cheaper than they have been in years past. I just got mine ( the 8443) less than two months ago, it's the one just under their top of the line, has aux inputs, and you can change the angle of the faceplate..........

extra goodies include 8 volt pre out, 24 bit dac converter, 50X4 power for those without external amps (makes it much easier to sell than a HU without internal amplification), eclipse star dsp with plenty of crossover settings and time alignment for tweaking everything you'd ever want to when you demand lots of options....i bought mine from an authorized retailer for $400 plus tax, got a 3 yr warranty...all that good stuff.

If you've never checked out eclipse......find a dealer near you and go take a look/listen.


I've owned mass market/produced hu's like sony, alpine i'm on my 6th hu now and i'll be buying eclipse for a long long time. Fell in love with my eclipse 5303r 4 yrs ago, never cared for bells and whistles or dolphine or moons jumping across my hu so that's why i think i like eclipse so much.

Ok enough of my advertisement.

Alpine 7894, from last year. That's what I have, it has an aux input when used with a ai-net alpine cable, plays mp3's, has a face which angles up in 3 positions. if you can't find this on the net or ebay try to find the new model which replaced this one. I purchased this unit for a lower then msrp cost of $300 it list for $450-500
