I dont really know that much about there cd decks. but eclipse is an over all good brand i like mine in my truck AVN 5510/6620

[BassBoy69]

nice deck, sadly cause i have a eclipse with a stick shift I already sold a nice d-dine dvd player, the shifter was in the way of the tv.

so I wanted a nice single din and one that puts out alot of power at the same time I can fine tune it to my needs,

seems like eclipse decks are best for that from what I know.

as for screens I will be ordering 2 lcd visors once i find a nice deck.
