JVC Head Unit sound quality

I generally use JVC decks in semi drivers vehicles for the simple reason that we very rarely have issues with them. And if I put a stereo in a guys truck and it breaks after 6 months and that gu has to go to wall mart and by a cheap ass boombox till we get his fixed, guess who hears about it. I also use them in a bunch of heavy equipment that we install stereos in and have yet to have an issue with them. The whole thing about having to reset them every couple months is strange to hear. I have been dealing JVC for 5 years outta two different companies and have never had an "epidemic" of JVC failures like what you described.double-secret reverse-osmosis speaker-cone-induced high-level interference distortion, Its a killer

interesting, because its honestly a real issue in my personal experience. This is in NE ohio, where we have very hot summers, and pretty cold winters. But it happens as much in summer as in winter, after thinking about it a bit. I'll get phone calls from people saying that they can't eject their cd so on and so forth. at that point I honestly say "is it a jvc?" and they tend to go "yep" so I tell them to hold power and select till it shuts off and resets. problem usually goes away till the next time.   its not uncommon for us to send em in under warranty because the deck needs this done a few times a week, and the customer gets sick of it after the initial call. I don't blame them. that being said, I doubt this is an issue with the higher end deck that is being discussed in this thread. At least I hope not, because we will be carrying it shortly.

I bought the JVC from Crutchfield knowing that I could return it if I did not like it. I was very impressed with the look and controls of the new JVC. It is an awesome looking deck. But considering I wanted the best possible sound quality I decided to return it and go with the Eclipse CD8455. Everyone I asked said the Eclipse is superior to just about any other unit. I had it installed last week with a 8"JL Sub and the JL 250/1. It sounds great! I have not figured out how to confirgure it yet. But I will... Thanks for the advice...
