Ebay is going to be your source for new HUs for a very reasonable price. Alpine and Premiers are going to be your best bet. Eclipse tends to be more expensive. |

Silver Member Username: XkawnPost Number: 181 Registered: Jul-05 | in kenwood your just buying a name. they're products are not as good as alpine, pioneer, eclipse and a few others. the reason i suggested pioneer over alpine (who'm both build good quality products in your $200 budget range) is because alpine had a defect in they're models early this year. yes, being a really good company they re-called them and took care of the problem asap, but buying on ebay i personally wouldn't want to take the chance that you get one of the re-called models and have to pay shipping to and from again to get it resolved. it's just a risk factor. pioneers haven't had any reliability issues that i know of. i have the deh-m8pm. outstanding decks in the premier line. |
