Try Clarion or Alpine. I have Clarion DXZ845MC it has Aux, Sub control, and DVD control as well if you would like to add a dvd player in your system. I got it for $280 Canadian without tax (with tax It cost me $420 including Installation) at A&B Sound. That was during Boxing Week. I guess now their cheaper cuz Clarion have their 2005 line out now.

Oh another thing is don't buy a SONY hu. Its not worth it. The best affordable HU's out there are Alpine, Pioneer & Clarion. Good luck!

 
Rep Power: 289

yeah sony was off the market for me

my problem was theres 30 bijjilion (word?) head unit sout there

and i didnt want to try and compare every one and check the specs. i figured you guys may know. that clarion sounds within my range. i think i will look at it. thanks

$280 is pretty good too...the 845mc is pretty good bang for the buck...

heh, i grabbed mine brand new for under $300cad w/ extended waranty....

absound sold the demo models for $251cad+tax during clearance time but i managed to get a better deal..hehe...the 745MP was the same price...

the clarion is cheap to buy and packs plenty of power; not to mention that it's also one of the few HU's that are closer to the stock look.

I think eclipse is pretty expensive here in Canada. I checked out a few eclipse when I was searching for hu's and they cost around $400 and higher. That was last year I don't know this year if they went lower.

I think eclipse is pretty good too but a bit expensive.

Their entry level mp3 decks are from $150-300 USD. The high end models are very expensive tho.

Tell me about it. I wish I were rich as well.

Are you lookin' for just a cd player? or an mp3 cd player?
If you just wanna hook up a cd player there lots out there that's in your price range. Now if you want it with mp3 of course its gonna cost you a few bucks unless you wait for a sale.

the way the economy's going in the US, I'm surprised there's still a gap between the two.

edit: also, the best way to buy cheap electronics is to make a friend who works at an electronics store. i get my stuff for nearly their cost.

^^^My friend used to work at a cambridge sound works. Once a year, he could order direct from kicker on acomodation. He got, no ****, 75% off. They usually limited it to one car's worth of reasonable stuff, but he called and asked if he could do his and his wife *me, hehe* and they said yes. I got 2 10" solobarics, 2 ZR600s, 1 ZR460 for like $520 . 2 grand worth of **** for like $500

 

i have two for sale

Paradox, I'm guessing that's a typo on VTechgrl's link where it says Pioneer Premier DEH-P650 headunit. I think she means DEH-6500, if so, that's a great solution for you. 3 preouts, aux, etc.

k ill have

 
Rep Power: 289

k ill have a look.. i sell pioneer at work. only get 10% off :| so i unno hmm. maybe ill list wut i can get a hold of at work and see if any of them are worth it..

sony.. booo

 
Rep Power: 289

mp3 would be an ok feature. but i am hooking up a carputer.. so it wont be a big deal

i just need the 3 outs and an aux in. as i need to get the sound into the deck i could run mp3's off the touch screen.

clarions look nice. hmm.
hard to decide. guess ill keeplookig and when the cash is ready ill jsut buy whats at the top of my list at the time heh.
guess i also need the din for the vic huh?

 

nah not a typo... the regular pioneer would be the other one.. this one is a premier.

Oh, my bad, I thought it was the other way around for Pioneer. You know, higher model number = premier. Silly me. Good HU for you Paradox

here's a review for the clarion dxz845mp

http://www.m-emag.com/article.asp?se...mber=1&preview=

the HU looks great, sounds good, but the interface sucks...

 
Rep Power: 0

Yo turbo you really hate this hu don't you

Why don't you get a new one with a much better interface. I think Alpines has a better interface. Most people here like it a lot but I've never had alpines.

Oh by the way man I now understand what you were saying about the random thing. I didn't even notice that before

eBay, dude. I got a $550 Pioneer Premier HU for $320 new.

 
Rep Power: 300

i dont hate it. it's very good hu for the price i paid. for the same price as the clarion, i would have only been able to buy a crappy model alpine. i'd love to have a cda-9833 but those cost a lot more.

just sucks that clarion managed to screw up such a simple little feature. btw, have you guys noticed that music catcher quality sucks? i've stopped using it because it sounds pretty bad.

 
Rep Power: 310

Yup, I personally think that Alpine has the best interface too. Wouldnt trade my 9833 for anything
