Need a good opinion quick.

while being very biased towards Eclipse, Alpine, Clarion and Pioneer Premier. i would only go with one of these 4. with these 4 brands you will not go wrong. i have owned a head unit from 2 of these brands. from the Eclipse 5542 to the Alpine 7893(current) and i loved them both. but with either of these four you will be happy. how much do you have to spend on a HU by the way?

Its it however, important to note that Eclipses don't usually last, nor do they power much- they're made for high end uses with amps- and high end users can replace their HU a lot.

Clarion is sold at a lot of consumer places- which usually means they've been cutting their prices by slashing the quality of their components they put in. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't

Pioneer has always been sold at consumer places- most people don't like it

Alpine's stuff has been going downhill- quality of components has been drecreasing.. they don't put out as much power as they used to.. etc
