SQ Head-unit recommendations, under $270


Recommended Posts

Im not gonna lie, it was overwhelming the first day, but if you read the book its very easy.

After you mess with it a little its awesome, i am very impressed with this hu

yea thats what i figured, the alpines were a lot like that too

it sounds better than my alpine. Take a day and mess with it and i bet you love it, best 140 i ever spent

Also I'd say the alpine CDE-HD149bt is a solid HU, too. Retail is 299. But maybe I'm just a pioneer fanboy... Haha.

Amps - (4) Crossfire C5 1700D's, MTX Thunder 5604(mids), PPI Art 300.2 (tweets)

All i will say is, i ran Clarion as a kid, then somehow i tried running some Alpines and the pioneer for a few years. Then finally about 3 yrs ago i made the switch back to Clarion and i will never switch back. In my personal opinion Clarion has the best sound quality out of all the others on the market.

hah, yea...i'm bitching about pioneer....while listening to my martin logans...on a pioneer elite receiver.

also name dropping the speakers adds to my douchebaggery.

now I gotta figure out whether I go active and tune a system or just run my 4channel amp with a set of zapco or other components.

I was a pioneer guy until the 8500x double din sounded like poop and reading issues with rca outputs here. Alpine 117, sidegraded to a Alpine 149bt and am happily a fan of Alpine. Just wish this 149bt had Biolite display.

I'm thinking about getting rid of my JVC(Kenwood owned and built) double din and giving the Clarion a try as well. I miss DTA that I had from my old eXcelon double din that was stolen :(

I'm also closely watching eBay and such for the real deal DEX P99rs. I'd be down for this copper chassis badass and I guess sometimes they're around for $700-800.

Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you.
