After lookin and lookin I decided Iw ant the 6800mp pioneer, or the JVC KD-LHX550.....

I looked at clarion and kenwood, but I came back to jvc. If anyone has used these units, Please tell me the ups and downs of each. Thanks. I plan on hookin this up to a 4ch amp(dunno wat one yet), and some infinity Kappa, or diamond audio comps. And a Jbl 600.1 With a REse12.

Both are very nice HU's, but i would have to lean towards Pioneer. I have used pioneer decks in my past 3 or 4 vehicles and havent had a problem with any of them. Solid HU's for the money.

if you go with the pioneer get the pioneer premier version (680mp) it has 4 volt pre-outs, while the 6800mp only has 2.2 volt

I think Justin had the 680mp and was pretty happy with it. It was a pretty nice unit from what I seen of it. I have a used 3 or 4 different Pioneer units myself and I haven't had any problems with them. They both have there perks from what I can see. Depends on what you want out of it. The Pioneer has an Ipod controller (with purchase of the adapter) which is a big plus for a lot of people. The JVC has the memory card slot though. It really depends on what you want to get out of the unit. Both are good HU's IMO.

id lean towards the pioneer as well......it also has available an aux input that you can purchase instead of the ipod adaptor that will let you run any audio signal into it....so with the purchase of an audio or a/v switcher you could run video and ipod and playstation or what ever you wanted to....some of my customers prefer the aux in and using the ipod itself to using the pioneer controller also......

I just put a Pioneer 5800MP in my wifes Tiburon and I like it but it's missing some of the features that my 7700MP has that I really wish it had such as listing the tracks on a cdtext cd or MP3/WMA cd and I can't figure out how to turn off Reverse mode for the display which can be very annoying while driving at night. I don't think the HU is as easy to control from the HU it's self as last years model but I have been very happy with the pioneers I have and am really excited to get my 7700 back from repair to put back in my truck, I would say go with the pioneer as they have a very long background of making quality products and I have never had any trouble getting something repaired if need be plus the list of features on the pioneer is really very nice if you want to add further upgrades in the future.

Thanks for the comments. I leaned towards the JVC. I really like the sd card slot option. Thanks!!
