New Clarion Head Units are Amazing!

Anyone see the new ones yet with the motorized faces. OMG they are amazing. They will run you $550-$600, but if you want the best control of your system then look into them. Unbelievable controls. I am very impressed and depending on this years tax return when it comes in, I might upgrade to it.

If you are referring to the DXZ925 model then I'd have to say I'm not all that impressed. Personally, I don't care for the looks and the abilities of the HU are lacking for the price. It does have many features but nothing that grabs my attention. I haven't heard of Sirius Satellite Radio. The XM Radio seems to be a bit more popular. And the CeNET thing is interesting but it only controls optional receiver add ons, none of those abilities are built-in. Oh well.
I much prefer my Pioneer DEH-P930 HU. I have yet to see a more clean looking HU. Since almost all of the functions are accessed with soft buttons which work like menu's on a computer, there is little clutter with tonnes of different buttons on the face plate. Instead it simply has a single row of multi-function buttons along the bottom with a nice Organic Display above it.
My $0.02.

...clarion's aren't about looks, they're about quality. And dollar for dollar, you can put them up against any HU.

Too pricey but the silver would look just right in my dash. They look tight. Maybe confusing and all those pesky passengers will be like DiDi. "Oooh look at the pretty buttons"

Dunno. Eclipse will always be the only HU for me, unless someone comes out with somethin awfully amazing. I honestly feel Eclipse has the best sound quality to offer, and the nicest cleanest looking decks out there. They aren't into all those bells and whistles and crap.

eclipses are top notch but they'll cost you an arm and leg.

not a clarion fan, but damn that deck is tight!
altho i love blaupunkt's top line hu's, i'm really not too crazy 'bout decks. i mean sure, there can be sound issues that vary from hu to hu, but nothing a good eq couldn't fix.

Man Clarion is great sound quality without tons a stupid features but

Eclipse is where is at for anyone who is serious about an excellent system, as soon as I get my shizzit together and two more amps, I need one that puts 200watts for two cahnnels for two Dual vioce coil subs , Impps. then I need one for a pair or Reference Q614 I think MB quarts. After that its a Eclipse deck with no internal amp so I can optimize the quality and options for price. What amps should I get. I was thinking Xtant(for subs), and another kicker for my front MB Quarts, or Lightning Audio for subs, not sure what to get dont want to spend mroe that 600-700 total but I want to save as much as possible.
