They may not be "too" bad. I know ive had my audiobahn amp for over 4 years now and its still working fine. But i would stick to the big companies like alpine, pioneer, etc when looking for an HU. Ive used pioneers for my last 4 HU's and i love each one.

Me. They actually don't seem like too bad of head units. We sell them every now and then.

That is a top notch setup... hard to find that much flexibility at your fingertips for less... a nice touch to have a digital connection from HU (front) to processor (trunk)...

As for 24BB DAC on HU's... it seems to be the new fad. Kenwood, Pioneer as well are jumping on board offering affordable options with 24BB's.

I would recommend that you learn about how 1bit & multibit DAC are implemented before assuming the higher number must be better. Quite frankly without a schematic showing implementation, posting a Brand Name BB on the box is just another marketing attempt to draw attention...

Before anything I said is taken out of context, take a look at the links below...

hmm that sucks about the clarion. and eclipse has some very fine decks. i got an 8443 because it was the highest one the store carried and wouldnt order me the higher one but now they dont carry anything over the 5**** series and the store is really crappy now. but back to the high end decks. if you want a really nice deck stick with the hgih end eclipse. if you want something flashy with neato features that arnt related to SQ then go with the clarion or something else.

And Im Going To Agree With Them On This Also Deffinatly Worth The Extra Money

by JeremyC » Fri Oct 28, 2005 11:21 am

I have to agree with OnYrMrk. The 8445 and 8455 are well worth the money, and give you tons of options when it comes to set up. I have a review of mine and some set up info in the product review section if your interesed.

If you have any other questions just let me know. I have some more to add to that review, I just haven't had time to do so.
