I havent really been involved with this topic much. Actually none of us Admins have...
But keep it clean. We are letting you guys duke it out and decide on what you want for this list.
Just take heed knowing this will probably end up being in addition to the current list, not a replacement.
There is a real need for generalization IMO, and I believe Chris and Justin agree with me on this. But you guys are welcome to get this list together and we will post it.

Yea, by all means keep the full list. I just think it is much easier for n00bs to read this and say, "oooh, these headunits are what I should be looking at" etc so nobody is given too general of information.
I think it lets everyone know that not a single brand is the best at everything. Except maybe Eclipse
I have heard rumors that Eclipse's new HU's have started lacking in SQ. I hope it isn't true.

I will let you know in a week and a half or so. I wouldn't think so. The top end models have the same procesing as last years models, and have added fiber optic inputs for cd changers and such.

i agree with the lightning audio amp in the questionable section... my bro has one of the bolt series amps and its preforming suprising well. not great output, but it works for coax or even a low power component set.

Dang, I forgot Concept. I'm glad kevinberry1 posted about their amps.
*updating the main list with my modifications*
Also, where should Elevation Audio go?
