Do you want better sound or flashy graphics that have nothing to do with sound?Top Secret, I can tell you but then my wife will kill me.

well, I like the graphics,,,, and the sound........... But I stay with the sound.....but I want something looks nice too..

Have a look at the Eclipse website, www.eclipse-web.com, there you will find a extremely good sq cd player, the best theft deterrent in the industry, a very easy to use cd player and I think they look mighty fine.Top Secret, I can tell you but then my wife will kill me.

look at alpine too

I dont really like the way they looks, What another brand is a good brand for hu..

From WHat Im reading on reviews Eclipse Is on TOp of the other brands.... But anyone im not going to be using the speakers leads because I have a amplifier going to my speakers....

the new sonys are kinda cool looks wise and the controls are easy to navigate it's a westbank thang

Yes but What About the sound, I went to a local Shop and the sound is not that good...

What do you think about KENWOOD< the Excelon KDC-X979 , How about the sound...
