Eclipse is my first choice for decks however, they need to drop this silly notion that the ESN (Eclipse Security Network) is a better idea than a detachable face. Most stereo thieves are dumbasses and aren't up to date on such things. If Eclipse would incorporate detachable faces into thier decks then I wouldn't even think about another deck. Unfortunately they aren't though. I guess Clarion would get my vote. Some of Alpine's higher end stuff wouldn't be a bad choice either. I have the Clarion DXZ725 model and it is great. Some people here will recommend Pioneer. Now, while I love Pioneer for DVD Burners I think all of their audio products (high-end or not) leave something greatly to be desired. BTW XBOXMAN20 any of the MB Quart speakers are outstanding so you really can't go wrong. It's kinda like JL Audio subs an amps. No matter which size and series you are getting superior quality. I have heard several different sizes of MB Quart speakers and they are all far and above anything else I have ever heard for car audio. It really does come down to what sizes will fit into your car. Ideally 6.5" full ranges or 6X9 speakers will give you the best full range sound but smaller speakers will still do a pretty good job. BTW did you take a look at my pics in the link?

I agree with jesterace that the best deks probably are Clarion or Alpine.

Yeah well i have only owned one eclipse head unit and it sucked, maybe i just got a bad one becuase i hear so much great about them.

Mine always skipped even if the CD wasnt scratched (but would work if i took it out and reinsrted it a couple of times) and the CD Text wouldnt read half the time.

And yeah a detachable face would be nice, because the ESN wont do me any good know a theif has a paper weight. Not to mention at night i dont think the theif could even read the brand name untill he already took the radio.

MY sister had a Kenwood deck.. Some old bitch hit hercar and totaled it so she couldnt get the deck out but managed to get just the Detachable Face off with out any damage.

KenwoodKDC-319 It was a nice deck I guess It never skipped and displayed the text and everything.

Ill post a pic up later im out to check eclipse decks lol

Exactly. I'm sure your deck was defective, as every eclipse I have seen has been a solid deck.

Yup, part of the problem is that people try to bite of more than they can chew with soundsystems. IMHO you really don't need all of that stuff. I understand you want the best but 2 W7s alone are going to require about 2,000 watts. That is just rediculous if you aren't getting into competitions. I would suggest getting the next series down in JL (W6s) as that will save you alot of money in both subs and amps. I still don't think you realize exactly how loud some systems can be. You don't need over 1,000 watts to have a loud system. A couple of 12" W6s will blow out your eardrums if you are running 600-700 watts to them and crank up the gain. The type of setup you are looking to build (at this point) will easily run you $4,000.
