Due to the angle of our dash, what is the best HU to get?

I've been reading quite a bit that since our dash is on a weird angle, that most decks are awful in the daytime?

What is the best kind of deck to get? That will satisfy my needs for sound quality, and so it can run with my MTX subs, and so I will be able to look at it in the day..

thanks..

I think this is due to the harness you get installed w/ your face. I can see my face all day even in the sun, the only prob I have is taking the face off cause the face is slightly set back into the dash. The best kind of deck would probably be one of the eclipse pop out screens. I personally think they rock but everyone has their opinions. I wouldn't suggest running your sub off the face, but from an amp even if it's a cheep one. best of luck

I have the Pioneer DEH-P7300 HU. It has the Organic EL display. You can see everything on it, regardless of angle and sunlight...well, at most angles. There are some times when the sun reflects light right back at you. I have two 12" MTX 6000 subs and they sound pretty good with my MTX 4250D amp. A lot of people are telling me to get the 6500D amp cuz my current amp isn't putting out that much. Time to save up!
