I'm not going to have an amp or anything... maybe upgraded speakers in the future... but nothing anytime soon. Just trying to figure out which headunit to put into my car! with my iPod connection. I believe i can just use a AUX cable, or Y Cable. Both of these headunits have these.

Let me know people!!! Thanks. i Have a 97cl if that matters.

 

eclipse. they have one of the best technologys invested in their lasers.

 

does that mean pioneers aren't as good?

 

"Price: Too Low to Show"

i have a pioneer and havent had any problems. Eclipse's are nice too though. But out of those two, I like the look of the pioneer more

 

yea.. i just used the site for specs. But... i do like pioneers. maybe i'll just give my bro the eclipse.

 

I am a faithful pioneer user, and I say get the pioneer, better quality, and looks pimper too

 

I'm also a pioneer user.

BTW - Go with the pioneer because the other headunit is

 

Alpine!

well of the two, which one do you think will suit you better? I know eclipses usually have a TON of features to help shape the acoustics and the soundstage which is more for the audiophiles. The pioneer is a good deck if you don't really care all that much aobut tweaking your sound but just want a solid HU.

 

ECLIPSE!! althought the head unit donesn't look that good. but the goodies are inside. better sound quality and tweating abilities. able to make stock speakers sound like componets.

 

I would go Eclipse.

I personally think it looks better than the Pioneer.

I highly doubt that Fujitsu has any different laser than any other Cd maker.

It sounds better than the Pioneer, probably.

 

dang... it's like 3 to 4!!! too close to decide... i have a few more days till i have to decide though.... keep those opinions commin! thanks guys.

 

Eclipse is the higher quality of the two. Go with the Pioneer if you want iPod controls through your deck:

Or I would just sell them both and get a new one with 4V preouts and more features.

 

pioneer, cuz it looks pimp and it doesn't sound bad

 

I think you just encapsulated their entire HU product marketing strategy right there.

Of course, to me it's a reason to buy a Nakamichi : )

 

what dothe Nak HU's look like these days? Im guessing the face is just as plain as usual

 

Pretty much...

Between Alpine, Denon, Nak's, Clarion (their primary high end unit) which do you guys feel is the best quality.

 

Insides? Probably Nak......pretty good insides and a bit "cleaner" look (IMHO) - Alpine

 

I think the adjective is "clean", not plain.

should work with my pioneer headunit right?

 

That will work but this one does the same thing and its only $20 shipped!

dang it... oh well too late. i guess i just spent $20 more than i should have. At least mine says pioneer on it...

 

Should've gone with Eclipse.

 

how would the ipod connection work with the eclipse?

 

very carefully
