I need a head deck, except i don't have much to pay... $100-$150 is all i can fork out.

What brand, specifications etc should i get, and where can i get the best deal, i'll buy from anywhere and may concider second hand.

Thanks!

Thats what i first thought, but then i read through the feedback of the seller, and everyone's saying how good it is...

go with what you first thought, its an unknown brand, get one of those sanyo ones etc they dont look too bad for the price

Crap - play an MP3 on it ans wait for 30 secs for the unit to recognise that it is a MP3. Thats what the Foryou ones do

They are crap too. I had one in my car, and then it just stopped reading cds. Threw that away!

Might buy those JVC ones for $159, dunno the model...

JVC is good isn't it?

by **DeeCee** » Wed Jul 13, 2005 11:46 am

Sanyo is alright but JVC is better

hey, dont mean to invade ure thread or anything. But what are the clarion headunits like for around the $150-$220. I have a shitty 45X4 sony one at the mo, will i actually hear the difference?

I had a Sony CDX F5500x I though it was alright unit, but when I got a hold of my Clarion DXZ746MP it totally kicked ass. I wasn't aware that that a different headunit could make that much of a difference. I'd go for the clarion or JVC. And 86_rolla - you will definatly hear the diff between them.

you noticed the better processing - the clarion is a has a 24bit digital analogue convertor (DAC) in it - far superior to most one bit DACs..
i'm using that exact unit for my demo car.. you're in good company
