I've only dealt with low to mid end car audio and never really looked at high-end car audio equipment before... which are the better brands? Qualities I am looking for in order of importance is:
1) Sound Quality - Sound has to be CLEAN with a GOOD soundstage.
2) Features/EQ/DSP. SHould have a built in eq and crossovers with 3 sets of high voltage pre-outs.
3) Price. Somewhere in the range of $350 or $400
4) Cosmetic - Don't really care as long as it doesn't look like those nakamichi head units. They are excellent units, but look like factory units.
Also, I am looking for one under $500... close to $350 or so.
I'm thinking of the Clarion DRZ925, the pioneer premier DEH-940MP, or the Alpine 7897.. I am also considering Eclipse, Nakamichi, and kenwood excelon's. If anyone has any direct experience with any of these units, please list what you got and how your system sounds. Thanks
