the eclipse 55090 in my opinion may be the best deck ever made. it has 8 volt pre outs! copper shell, dvd, optical output for dolby digital..... if anybody has used a high end eclipse head unit knows they are the best out there, there are very few head units that can compare to the quility and amaxing sound that eclipse produces in these head units. this head unit was 1600 dollars retail when new. you can also add a 39011 dsp to get true dolby 5.1 digital sound. i have this setup in my 84 regal show car(future show car, lol) and i have used more decks then you can imagine, i am very faithfull to eclipse and this in my opinion is their trophy, there is not a better head unit with these features out there. if you can get it for less then 500 GET IT!!! you will not regret it, remeber it is also a dead head and only has pre outs for sound, no internal amp.

Eclipse while is a great head unit out there is not really close to being the best. Granted the features are really amazing, but anything that is DVD is really not something I would consider a true SQ headunit. (That in no way has anything to do with my buying the DVA9861/H701 combo) but...G-body is right that if you can find this product for 500 or less, you better jump on it.
I have owned Eclipse, just sold my CD8455. Not cause I was unhappy with it, but because I am going 3way active and there just wasn't enough pre-outs to make me happy. It is a good cd player...buy it if you can.

the dvd is just a added bonus! i think that it has all the same options as their top on the line sq head at that time, they just added dvd. also 55 Ohm impedance is damn dood! you can also add gps and voice command to it. all of these products are older now so you can get all of the components cheap. i paid 200 for the head unit, yes 200 and 125 for the 39011 dsp. the rest of the setup is all eclipse premium amps, mids and highs are eclipse, mb quart and diamond d6 component speakers. the sq is there, buy it! you will love it. it is a simple looking deck but the features are amazing
