Alpine and eclipse are your top brands for HUs imo. It's been that way for a very long time. I'd go with alpine over pioneer anyday.

You'll get many different opinions but what I previosly stated is the truth.

Izan. There are a couple things that you should think about on a new HU. The first is the display. What? Yeah the display. Because the HU sits so high in the dash of these cars, you want something that you can read in sunlight. Anything with LED display is useless in sunlight. (Personal experience) I swapped my old Pioneer Premier HU for a new Pioneer DEX-P7300 with OEL display. I can read it day or night. The other thing you should look at is the number of pre-outs for amps. By that, I mean does it have dedicated Sub outs. If it does, I think that's the way to go. Reason being you can up the bass without having to screw around with the amp settings or a separate pre-amp, just cruise the menu on your HU and BOOM! IMO two things you should consider.
