Personally I like Kenwood Excelon. I have never had any problems with them and they have the features that I actually use.

I'll stick with Pioneer. They may not be the best out there, but they're my favorite.

clarions pro audio line isnt bad panasonic is doable sony is only ok for h/u's imo nak = expensive alpines are always a good choice along with the premiers...flip a coin

I'm not too surprised, but still... I thought there'd be a few sony fans out there.

That sux that Nakamichi isn't an option. I voted for Alpine, as i have always loved them. Eclipse makes a good HU, but i don't really consider it user friendly... neither do i a nak, but i just don't like them as much as Alpines for some reason. Its just wierd like that.

"I don't play games. I play Nakamichi and that for real yo" - Probably some japanese kid said this in the early 80's trying to sell stereo out of his trunk lol.

I've had a sony HU for 4 years now so it's all I've ever dealt with, never given me any troubles. However, the power is waaay overrated, and if I could afford it I'd jump off the sony bandwagon so fast...

i would have to say my fav altime is actually the sony cdx-c90. even by itself its a performer, but add the processor and whew! of course this unit hasnt been in production for a few. just a side note, i got a peek at the 2005 sony lineup and the headunits are reminiscent of the mobile es line of yesteryear. currently my fav unit is kenwood excelon, theres not a better value in a high performance unit that balances cosmetics and functionality w/ sq ------------- MECP certified, 5yrs experience, you probably otta listen bitch!!
