Robert8252 Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 (edited) First post on the forums so whats up everyone. I need help choosing a head unit. I don't want to spend more then $600 on it but can't find shit for help on which ones are actually worth anything. I had the Clarion VZ709 in mind and love the features for the price of only $499 but cannot find ANY information on it. I like Kenwoods but don't like what some of theirs offer. If anyone can help give me some choices or knows anything of the Clarion let me know please. Heres my main list of what it has to have. And thanks Motorized flip out monitor Touchscreen FR, RR, SW RCA outputs Detachable face plate Nice UI iPhone controls Make a system sound damn good No off brands <$600 -Robert edit: may consider double din now. How's the pioneer avh-p4200dvd Edited April 27, 2010 by Robert8252 Quote 2013 F150 Crew Cab Old Build Log Feedback 2013 F150 Equipment - Some Awesome Stereo Sound Making Stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Performer Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 Get a stationary touch screen. Flipouts are constantly breaking. Quote CERTIFIED BITCHES!!!

Robert8252 Posted April 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 I'm stuck with a single din in my car. That soundstream looks neat but can't find any info on actual features besides basic basic stuff. Also the price is showing 800+. Obviously that could come down. Others?

Robert8252 Posted April 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 That pioneer looks pretty nice. Do you own that unit or have experience with it?

Robert8252 Posted April 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 How is it for making a system sound in general. All speakers and subs are ran off of amps but does the features of it produce good SQ? I haven't used a pioneer HU in a few years and have loved the sound of the Kenwood.

So scratch the idea of watching dvd's and go for sound quality. Alpine CDA-9887. Really, I've seen so many flip outs jam up over time and become slow and don't have what it takes to push it self out. That's all brands, not just the cheap ones. Quote CERTIFIED BITCHES!!! Not being new at something doesn't mean anything.
