AMMAY Posted October 7, 2006 Report Share Posted October 7, 2006 I installed a new head unit this week to get hi speed ipod control. The specs were almost identical between my sony and the new one and they both had the same features. They also cost about the same. I didnt complain before, it hurt my ears when it was knockin, I just wanted ipod in the car. The system is much louder now. I mean I feel the air blowing by me when it hits. The highs can be heard with detail at hi volume. I got more then I expected, and thats just sweet. Sony you suck! Leave car audio alone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emperorjj1 Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 oh they could but now its a worthless uphill battle...now if they were good from the beginning and stayed that way then they would be in good shape (i herd some of their older stuff was "good" from a few peeps thou) J.

AP Zoutes Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 or this http://www.crutchfield.com/S-DWW3JXkibfX/c...50&I=099AVN5435 I think the alpine will sound better but the nav upgrade is an extra $1700. The Eclipse has nav built in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
