So, I'm kinda in the market for a new HU

[bdawson72 0]

I currently have a Eclipse cd8445 and I do love it. The problem is that when I had previous setup in the track selection button would "oscillate" during long periods of bass causing it to skip or change tracks at times.

I figure that this setup will be significantly louder than the last one so I'm looking around for something different.

I'd like something that has mainly the same features as my 8445. But also has a very broad subwoofer control range (ex. My 8445 went from -6 to 6. I'm looking for something slightly larger). I did kinda like the fact that the 8445 has an 8v preouts. But that really doesn't mean too much.

Any comments or suggestions will be appreciated.

I was really thinking about that. Do you happen to have one?

Can't say that I ever use the subwoofer volume control so I won't be of much help.

Hahaha.

Well when I'm finished I know that i will just want to turn the bass down at times, but not necessarily volume.

I am sure that is why the guy who just sold me my Eclipse 8454 sold it. It has an unfaded sub out. IMO perfect as I never adjust it. In your case though doesn't your amp have a remote sub level pot? To me that would be the best & fastest way to change the level. Negotiating in a h/u menu to quickly turn down a substage or dial it in isn't the most convenient way. Your other option would be to scrap your overpowering substage and get one that matches your front stage

Sorry B, I don't and SSA is not set up to sell Eclipse HU's online.

I just wanted your opinion on it.

Well I am always going to be a proponent of Eclipse decks (as long as they keep going in the right direction) regardless of the SSA shop. Some people have actually prefered the CD5000 over the 7000 IIRC.

Chances are that I would. I'm not someone who needs bands upon bands of eq.

I too am a proponent for eclipse. I may just have to make a semi long drive to a shop that sells eclipse so that i can toy around with one.
