What is a solid headunit these days?

[NDMstang65 403]

So..

I don't use any of this new bullshit, i keep it old school with audiocontrol stuff that does not mess up. Resistor packs and things to sifts slopes and crossover points..

What is a good deck now that actually has the capability of a H-701 processor or the likes there of? I'm drawing a blank...

Any suggestions would be great!

Thanks!

The only new thing I know of that is a headunit with great features is the Pioneer Stage 4 DEX-P99RS, you can consider the older Pioneer 800 and 880 units as well as the Eclipse units.

New Pioneer HU are real nice

Seems most HU nowdays are all about iPod interface and are getting away from DSP and other processing capabilities.

That's so expensive....

[NDMstang65 403]

Damn that's a LOT of money.

eeeeshhhh

Look to see if there are any Eclipse CD-7200 MKII around or even the older Pioneer 800, 880 PRS HU.

It looks like our distro has the DEH-9800BT and 7200HD, would have to double check if they are in stock.

Of you want a total audiophile hu pioneer has this all tube hu.

This is just for a truck i'm going to be building..

Found a 3 way kicker XO for 90 bucks on amazon.

Everything I use myself is old analog stuff that simply doesn't break and forget where it was set

Thanks gents!

I have a DX-28 I'd let go if you want the old analog route.

As for the other options, only the 99 does what the P9/H701 does but that is 3way front +. If you are just in for 2 way there are more choices.

Besides the 880 and 800 from Pioneer and Eclipse 7200 what will do 2-way plus sub? Thanks as im in the market for one.

[audiolife 14]

If all you need is a 24 bit D/A and time alignment I would look into the kenwood excelon 994 or 794

Much lower quality then some of the others mentioned. I personally had a X994 and the 800PRS I have now sounds so much better I can not express it with words.

New, not sure. Used a ton. Any Alpine with BEP, Eclipse 8053, 8454, 8455, Ural CDD... list goes on.

[Sir-Lancelot 216]

I am running the ClarionDXZ785USB and I love it. Much better than the Kenwoods it replaced.

Discontinued, but can be found pretty regularly on DIYMA for less than $200 some even NIB. Also found on google shopping, but I have no idea about the sellers.

Ugly little fucker in pics but not so bad in person.

DXZ785

Lord, I sold my 8454 for $150 shipped and it is WAY more of a headunit than that. Used the 785 should be $100 shipped.

To each their own.

It does what I need it to and sounds damn good.

I would buy it again tomorrow if I needed one.

When I looked for an HU I narrowed it down to

9887, 7200 MK II, 800PRS. Went for the 800PRS and Im happy

9887 needed imprint

7200 MK II has a small screen and low contrast + no internal amp (I needed one for the time being)

800prs needed $50 for ipod adapter, but thats it

Was that an audiocontrol unit? What would you want for it? (That model number doesn't ring a bell right off the top of my head)

Coustic. I'll send you a PM.
