Sorry bro. Crazy weekend. What else do you want to know about the head unit?

Man, where have I been while this post was going on ?? what are the top 3 speaker brands? - Page 4 -- posted image.

My 2 c's goes to Morel Dotechs or the Elate 3 ways for price. If you have money to spare go with the Supremo's. You won't be unhappy. Just make sure that you have enough power going to them and use a Class A/B amp to power them as well.

As far as the Pionner HU's go....... IMO they suck !! Ground plane problems since day one, poor quality face plates & poor customer/dealer support.
IMHO Pioneer head units are the best. Never had alternator whine. Never had a faceplate problem. The features are amazing. The displays are sweet. I don't know about customer service cause i've never had a problem. In all honesty I have my Pioneer head unit because of the 16 band EQ and the display. But here's the bottom line: It's all about preference. Mobile audio is one of those subjects that is based solely on opinion and preference. There's no way to factually state one speaker is better than the other. Improperly tuned "top of the line" speakers can sound like doodie.....and properly tuned "bottom of the line" speakers can sound amazing. Stereos are based on preference first and setup second. You can go Best Buy or PC Richards all the way and if you set it up right it will sound great. I LIKE Pioneer head units.

As far as a purchase that's a couple months away. I've pretty much decided on JL bi-wire components and a JL 4ch.

Pioneer has been good in the past, don't get me wrong, but after being a dealer for them for 5 years and having a 5 % defective rate for a shop my size, it is not acceptable. My opinion is based solely on sales, installations & after sales service. It's great that you have had a goo experience with Pioneer and that you wil continue with a Pioneer HU in your vehicle, but from experience with the 100's of Pioneer decks that I've sold and installed, that would not be my first choice.

The JL's are a good choice.

Thanks bro. You prove my point totally. Different people have different experiences with different products. Just out of curiosity, what is your favorite head unit. Not necessarily what you would reccomend to your customers, but YOUR favorite.

From past installations my favorite has been the F1 Status HU from Alpine paired with the preocessor. I still have this in our show car, but for everyday driving, I like the Clarion stuff. If I did another show vehicle, I'd say I would go with a McIntosh

I just checked out the Alpine F1 Status stuff. It's really SICK bro!!! I don't like the display but the EQ on the PXI-H990 is amazing.
