i dont mind the Pioneer...for $470 you can get a DEH-P5850MP

When it comes to stereo equipment there are a lot of differnt opinions on what brands are good/bad. It pretty much comes down to personal opinion. I am a pionner fan for HU's. i currently have a DEH-8650MP and it is awesome. I wouldnt buy any other brand HU than pioneer, but thats just me. Shop around and see what tickles your fancy. most brands these days are decent, and if you are looking to spend 400-450 you should get something decent

yeah, also JVC Look pretty similar, i want to get a JVC DVD H/U then get a Screen but thats dreamin u never know

really there is not much that seperates one $400 h/u from another.
just find the one that you can use easiest.

[V-ahhh]

yeah find the one which is most user freindly 2 u and maybe one which match's your interior?

Good thinking mate, I do like the Pioneer & JVC for decks,the pioneer seem to have the looks tho the JVC with the SD card has soom good features.

I have the DEH P1Y flip face by Pioneer 60 X 4 3 pre outs and its a good deck,no dramas with it.

Check out Motoquipe,Tonkins,Autobarn and compare prices.
