got my clarion head deck
well picked up my clarion head deck tonight from autobarn for $400 and im stokedit was discounted from $650 so it was a good saving
now to try and work out all the features on the damn thing
overall though it looks and feels like a very solid little unit, and its a good start to the sound system im building in the calais
Clarion Australia | DXZ776USB
seems like a good buy for 400 odd.
time alignment, hp-lp filters.
only thing i would be concerned about is 6 volt preouts, could limit your amp selection.
good job.

i was just out looking for a cheap system to throw in my vl calais when i came across this head deck @ autobarn, and for the price i thought it was good value for money, so i bought it

That's a good price for that head unit, good find
omg thats the funky sh1t
nice, havent seen that deck around, has some very nice features. is the usb integrated or do you have to buy a connector thing?
no the usb is intergrated into the unit with around 60cm of play in the cord so you can put it into your glove compartment

haha yeah thats what 2 kids & 2 years of marriage does:P yeah the usb cord is pretty neat and looks like it will have enough cord to run to the glovebox with ease
omg thats the funky sh1t
LOL sorry to go back to this again but i just read itlooks like a nice unit.
...also, great 'look' in the 4th pic. with 6v pre-outs its beggin for a good amp and sub/s to be adjoined i reckon....i thought the 5v on my eclipse deck was good
haha yeah sorry bout that pic fellas, good thing is i can still see my toesLOL sorry to go back to this again but i just read itits funny when i was looking at this head deck in the shop i had the clarion head deck in one hand and a $400 kenwood head deck in the other and the clarion unit was ALOT heavier than the kenwood, so its probably got alot more better quality parts in it than the kenwood one! im thinking of throwing the head deck in this arvo and just running the factory speakers untill i can afford the amps/splits!
ust bought and installed a set of 4"pioneers for $50 brand new and they sound sweet but you can tell that the head deck is just itching for a good set of speakers and has heaps more in it!! the sound i get is crystal clear and comes through the speakers strong but if i crank it to hard the speakers will die as there nominal power rating is 20wrms

the h/u wil be putting out around 18Wrms, so the speakers will be fine.ust bought and installed a set of 4"pioneers for $50 brand new and they sound sweet but you can tell that the head deck is just itching for a good set of speakers and has heaps more in it!! the sound i get is crystal clear and comes through the speakers strong but if i crank it to hard the speakers will die as there nominal power rating is 20wrms
