There are so many, we need to narrow it down some.

- What is your budget?

- Any other features that you would like?

- What other equipment will be in this install?

- What vehicle is it for?

At this time of year you should be able to find lots of last years model (brand new) on clear out to make room for the new stuff.

A few suggestions:

Clarion DXZ835MP ($229 almost half price)

Clarion DXZ645MP ($299... with free SIRIUS Tuner)

Panasonic MXE CQ-C8400U ($349)

Alpine 7998 ($399... that's $400 off)

I think if you stick to a good brand name almost anything in that price range will keep you smiling.

would you be willing to do ebay for a nice used model?

well I bring it up because it is easier to find companies like Eclipse who do not have online dealers, and you could find for much less than in the store

As do I, except when it is cold. Darn thing won't eject a CD for crap. Takes too long to heat up too.

pioneer 8600 from sounddomain is 369.95 very nice head unit from what i've heard(just ordered one a few days ago)I had mine pricematched and got it for $332.20 not bad at all.

http://www.tundraelectronics.com/ has a 9600 for $389 never heard of them but i would see if sounddomain will pricematch them.
