i dont want to start a new thread just for this but :

would u guys say current models of Panasonic HUs are as good as current pioneer / premier / alpine / clarion / eclipse ?????

You got my approval :thumbsup (not that it means anything :p )
You won't be disappointed though :happy055:

very nice head unit!

After searching for a long time I finally found a decent HU at a good price. I went with the advice from a few people on here ([email="http://www.caraudiocentral.net/forums/showthread.php?t=6173&page=2"]Bill, TeamAI, Cargodz[/email]) and started an extesnsive search for Panasonic decks.

I happened upon this brand new one on eBay and won it for $147 plus $7 shipping [url=http://www2.panasonic.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/vModelDetail?storeId=15001&catalogId=13401&itemId=96339&catGroupId=25028&modelNo=CQ-C8413U&surfModel=CQ-C8413U&cacheProgram=11002&cachePartner=7000000000000005702]Panasonic CQ-C8413U[/url]

It has more bells and whistles than I was originally planning on but allows for excellent tuning. 5v preouts, 7-band eq, high/low pass filters, etc. I'm sure it will take me a few weeks at least to learn how to use all these features since I'm anything but an expert compared to most of you guys.

Anyway, just thought I would share and get any feedback from anyone who has used this unit or a similar one. Thanks again for the advice and I'll be sure to do a product review after I become accustomed to the HU.
