OK, I already replaced the stock speakers in my 99ls 4dr. Now I need to get to work on the head unit. I'm not going to find a decent 1.5 din hu, so what do you guys have/recommend? I'm not looking to spend a huge amount of money on the deck, that means I'm going to do my best to stay in the $250-350 range.

Things to keep in mind: I am going to amp everything up, I have two 12's that I am also installing with the unit. If possible, Id like it to be satellite radio ready.

 

Alpine or eclipse, ecipse migh be too pricey. Got to Crutchfield.com and read reviews of their decks

I have it installed on my blazer..can't tell you how great it is ! Bought it off ebay.

 

eclipse = teh win

i have the 8445 and it cost me $400. so a 5000 series would be great and in your range

 

alpine. They have a deck (coincidentally, the one i'm getting) it has an ipod hook up, satelite radio, re-outs (3 i think) changer controls, hd radio setup, and a bass engine. I can't wait. Its also satelite radio ready.

 

the new eclipse headunits are amazing. eclipse in my opinion has the best clarity on the market.

 

I would concure that the Eclipse products are very good. In case you would like to see these radios, Circuit City just became a National Retailer of Eclipse products. They are officially launching the brand this weekend, but many of the stores already have them in stock.

If you are interested, look at the 4000 or the 5000 model. They are great headunits and will give you good sound. Additionally, they have 5 volt pre-outs, which will give you stronger signal to your amps.

Hope this helps!!!

 

im not 100% but i think circuit city will only carry the lower end eclipse's such as the 1000 - 4000 series. i doubt they will carry the 5000, 7000, AVN6600 or AVN7000

 

def best clarity for the $$$. but if you wanna go hi end, look for something like mcintosh and denon

 

DAMN! i didnt know eclipses new line was launched. man, now i wanna get rid of my 8445, lol. but i noticed that the 7000 avn6600 and avn7000 only have 5v preouts. whats that about? but i do like that avn7000 regardless
