magnat has reccomended a nice hu for me in another thread, but before i completely decide wether or not to buy it, id just like to cover my last option, double din hu`s, i think they look nice, but how are they for quality? are there any ones worth reccomending? how much can i expect to pay? are they a waste of space?

many questions yes :P but at least its now open for discussion :d

Bleh. from what I've researched - which isn't alot :P
I think double DIN HU's are a waste of time unless they include an LCD screen to watch DVD's on! Or you use alot of Tapes :doubt:
However, if it looks nice, and it's at the price and quality you're looking for, i don't see any reason not to get one.

well i am at a loss as to what i could use the extra din bay for..dont plan on shelling out for a dvd screen, and i dont like the empty bay, tis why im thinking double dins

off topic but can you get pioneer dvd head units the 6500 i'm after. would like the 7500 but a little to much for me

ive got a double din kenwood deck. Clarion also have a nice looking double din deck, which i have had my eye on.

I'm not sure if the price really justifies it though, it looks great, but it'd have to be at $700 before I'd think about getting it.

ive seen some sony ones at cash convetors for about 300 bucks..putting your cashies opinoins aside, would they be any good?

that looks pretty similar to my eclipse unit, only real differences i can see is that has built in TV tuner and can play DVD-mp3 discs, where mine can use memory sticks, and has a very large EQ/DSP and time alignment functions... and mine was about $1800!

Or $890?

Thats an inferior model, looks the same lacks some features, Ive explained why on Nissan Silvia Forum, cant be ***d re-explaining it all lol.

Most Double Din head units have poor internal Amps as they have stuffed a Casstette Deck and a CD player into the one one unit taking up space internally..Sure some Double din head units look sweet, I would only recoommend getting double din if thats what is in your dash at the moment..


Better off with a Really good quality single din..

but who runs things off the head unit apart from just rear fill?

Me, The JVC deck I got needs no External Amp apart from the Sub.. Sure if I wanted to add another Amp on it would be overkill for daily listening....

I got a Sony WX4500X Double Din in my car which was already there when I bought it, I'm not too keen on it's fussiness with minor scratches... I'm gonna get rid of it soon and buy myself an DVD + Screen to refill the empty space, don't get me wrong though... Apart from the fussiness with minor scratches I really like this unit, just wouldn't pay $999 for it.
