Decisions, Decisions, Decisions - Little more help please

[Cajundude@EnglandGreen]

I've decided that the extra $1000 for the navigation I want is not worth it for the amount of time I would actually use it. Here is what I've decided to go with in a C5 Coupe:

Front components: Focal K2Ps
Rear Fillers: Boston Pros
Sub: 10W6 or 12W6 - Should sound better in my car than a 10w7
Sub Amp: JL 500.1
Speakers Amp: JL 450.4

I still need help picking the hu since I am not going with the N2.

Here are my choices:

Pioneer: DEH-P960MP, DEH-P90HDD

Eclipse: CD8455

Alpine: CDA-9835

Clarion: DXZ955MC, DRZ9255

Kenwood: XXV-01D, KDC-X889, KDC-MP928

Thanks again for your help!

I just picked up a Pioneer DEH-P90HDD from another forum member, and it is a really nice piece. I was going to go with the Alpine 9855, but a lot of them are being returned with problems...so I guess it's a good thing I grabbed the Pioneer. The Pioneer does stick out a good deal from the dash,however, whereas the Alpines will mount near flush with vrumvrum's cnc'd mounting plate.

Just a preference thing but i would go with the eclipse for many reasons. less problems and heartaches and they tend not to burn out very often. they are always top notch and always good sound. their is no such thing as a bad sounding eclipse head unit. the only drawback to them is they don't always have the features that some of the other head units have but alot of those features you would probably never use anyway!

Interesting, thanks!
