clarion good or not

[lieos]

i was arguin with this british bloke at work today he reckons that clarion are wank and no1 in england use them and would prefer poineer or alpine i hav clarion products that im overly impressed by so is it juz me who likes clarion or is it rubbish like the british guy reckons

[garfa]

clarion for h/u's for sure. i would take a high end clarion for SQ over a high end alpine, pioneer or any other main stream brand you want to name. i would have a really nice model of theres but i just missed out! damn those online shops. i could have saved over 65% american retail!

Clarion were good but then produced and sold rubbish for about 10 years.
Over the last 5 or 6 years they have gone back to producing good quality gear.
They had a poor reputation for a while which would have affected their sales no end and perhaps influenced whole markets not to buy their products.

have clarion and love it,
i have a 2 year old head unit and 6x9 speakers and 6' in the front doors,
very good sound quality, however i heard there subs aint that good but everything else i,ve seen and heard are awesome, my brother also has clarion head unit,

i will try and get pic up on my car audio system on my cardomain page that you can access on the link below

I've always liked Clarion as a brand, for some reason, probably goes back to the fact that the first really good system I heard was mostly Clarion.

Head units are very good and they're amps aren't bad for the money.

[V-ahhh]

i have a clarion sub and it pumps hard, im very happy with it

[lieos]

thnx for agreein with me i hav a high end h/u and had a 200w clarion 2ch to power a 500w 10" pioneer but wanted a louder system so i sold it to a m8 but that was a good amp i'll probably upgrade some of my other components to clarion coz i rly like there products

[andrewgrazier]

pretty much all head units are the same
as in you do get what you pay for
everyone bags out sony stuff
but yeah i duno
alpine is supposed to be the best but i know a few people who have had faults with them as well

i really dont like those flip down face ones where you put the cd in behind it
ive had a few friends who like when you push the face back up the lights dont come on and you have to tap it
ts just annoying

[V-ahhh]

yeh the novelty of the flip down face runs out really quick and in the end sometimes becomes fustrating.
