Best Head Unit For 200 Dollars?

I forgot that the only downfall to the 6000UB is that the remote doesn't come with a pause button. You can however buy one on ebay that does, it's from an older model but you get pause right on the remote. It's crucial that I have pause on my remote for bassrace, luckily I had an old Pioneer remote laying around that worked for my deck. There is a pause function in one of the menus but it's pretty hard to get to in a second or two. Just buy an extra remote when or if you get the deck.

me and a few members of my team use the alpine 9883 and we all love it. a couple of our team members use the pioneer 2000 and love it. it is all a matter of preference. i personally love my alpine but i am gonna get a 2000 for competition since it is a little cheaper than the 9883.

true, i also like the motorized face on the 6000 over the manual flap on the 5000 but for the price i say they are both great. i have owned a few alpines they were ok i just dont like that they arent as user friendly as the pioneer. but if you have patients they can be good. let us know what you decide.

What about Sony decks? I know that the Xplod shit is whack, but this deck looks alright.

i hate sonys, and im sure alot of people agree

and to jump on the bandwagon, i have a 600ub...and yea, 600, premier, gotta get my warrantee=)

if you plan on using usb/ipod, nothing better, plus THERES FRIGGIN DOLPHINS SWIMMING AROUND BEHIND A VISUAL EQ!

i will say, mine is like 6 months old, and it turns off randomly, i dropped the faceplate in a parkinglot one day and it never worked right since then...but whatever...and the 690ub i had shorted out when i dropped a live speaker wire on the chassis, and it gave the worse feedback ever.

i bought a panasonic cd-rx100u. i freakin hated it. i only bought it because my boss at the time said there is nothing better than a panasonic. i know they make good unit but after owning that model i dont think i would try another one.

No, cause I remember awhile back people on here talking about the 'whining' or whatever grounding noise they make.

Who runs Kole amps?
