I've been searching around the internet for some options and I made a list of a few that I liked: SONY CDX-F7700 * $198.95 (Ike Sound) Clarion DXZ745MP * $274.95 (Ike Sound) Alpine CDA-9830 * $279.95 (Ike Sound) Pioneer DEH-P8600MP * $367.95 (Ike Sound) I still don't know which HU I want though... could anyone give me their opinion on these and maybe offer some similar options? The price of the Pioneer DEH-P8600MP is a little more than I am capable of spending or else I would most likely go with that one. Anyway... I'm looking for a high quality and durable head unit with all or most of the following features: internal MP3 compatibility (required), advanced sound shaping (EQ, bass controls, high-pass and low-pass filters, etc.), a sound quality enhancement system for MP3s, decent RMS, at least 4v preamps (required), good CD signal-to-noise ratio, and good FM sensitivity. If anyone could help me find the best HU with these features at the lowest price that would be great! Thanks in advance! ~Soul Karver |

Clarion DXZ745MP * $274.95 (Ike Sound) I believe only Clarion's ProAudio top models have 4V preouts Alpine CDA-9830 * $279.95 (Ike Sound) this looks like your best bet Pioneer DEH-P8600MP * $367.95 (Ike Sound) out of your price range, you said. also look at Eclipse to see what they ahve in your price limitations. |

Alpine and pioneer make the best in car audio, especially in head units. I myself have a cda 9827 n its the best deck ive ever had n ive been thru about 4. I suggest the apine, the sound is great on everything they got and the controls are easier to use wen it comes to changing bass levels and other things. easier to use than the pioneer. |
