EDIT: I am talking Head Units ONLY........the sony speakers DO suck...lol....
I know a lot of people on here like Excelon, Alpine, Pioneer, clarion, kenwood, and others. I looked into ALL of them and had $600 to spend on a head unit. I was really looking onto a premier 8000BT ( i think, the one with the OEL screen and all the options, very nice), but I went back to XPLOD because it had the nicest equilizer with the most adjustments for me. They sound great and have enough power to really push what I have. (JBL GT series door speakers F&R with components up front, and kicker amp and sub in the rear)
Why do a LOT of people hate on XPLOD? Is it just the stigmata of a cheap head unit? I will admit I bought BOTH of them at wal-mart since that was the cheapest place to get them...-HAHA-
I just don't see the point of buying a $350 Alpine when you get treble +/-, Bass +/-, and a fader.......that is BS I want an EQ built in to adjust my high's, mids, and lows to MY liking. I also like the DSO settings to bring the soundstage up.
Right now I have the XPLOD CDX-GT71W HU and its really nice. I have had 2 XPLODS on the last 2.5 years and both have been great. My other one is in my brothers durango right now and its still doing great!.
any others or am I just "not understanding" what "real" music people buy as a head unit??
