Default new headunit

i'm getting a new head unit and speakers, i was thinking about getting this headunit... http://www.crutchfield.com/S-UvsjDjk...i=4&display=XL And eclipse speakers... does anyone know how this would sound and are the speakers a good brand or what? i really don't know a lot about either the spekaers or unit but i've been told that the headunit is the best for the price.

Very nice Deck, you will be happy with it. Eclipse make some pretty good speakers, but depending on the price, might suggest some other brands instead.

i agree with you 100%...the deck is very nice...but depending what ur spending on speakers ur getting from Eclipse you could find something better....are you looking for components, coaxials or just some regular speakers?

for the price,not bad, but they are not gng to be the best quality. Eclipse does make some decent entry level stuff, but great deals are to be had if you do a little lookin around. I would look at ebay, you can snag up some good Bostons or Diamond audios for pretty reasonable prices.

great deck. eclipse is also good, but dont forget the deck only has a 4 channel amplifier, so watch the load from 6 speakers.

Ok, so i bought the headunit and there's an auxilery input in the front which is just is a mini 2.5 mm jack and i bought the conector to hook my mp3 player up to it but would it sound better if i hook it up in the rear input instead?
