    Stereo (head unit) replacement

    I just received my new/pre-ordered Sony deck today...brand new model, just came out.

    http://www.crutchfield.com/S-E9FmhzT...0&I=158GT610UI

    I'm not going too crazy with my audio...more into features than volume.

    Anyways-
    just curious to know what everyone else has installed in their rigs?
    Receivers mainly.

    Pioneer DEH-P880PRS

    i went with the proven p880prs by pioneer.

    i wanted a head unit with decent EQ capability (this one has dual 16-band, time alignment, and 3-way crossovers) to build my system around without an external EQ. i also wanted satellite radio interface, 24-bit digital-to-audio converters, and high voltage preouts. this one fit the bill and happened to look pretty sleek as well.

    i read a lot of opinions on car audio forums before making this purchase, and i think it was well worth my time. i am very impressed with its capabilites and can't wait to move forward with the install. but the girlfriend is moving in next month, and only the good man upstairs knows what she's going to make me buy to get the place up to her standards, so i better hold off for a while.

    I'm quite happy with it. The slide touch can be a bit tricky while driving.

    Here are the bits-n-pieces I'm currently working on...nothing too high end.(I'm no BIJU )
    I just hope it sounds OK when it's all done.

    NIIIIICE !!!...

    You & Kenny are completely to blame for my build. (thanks )
    I started out innocently enough...just wanted a new HU that had aux in jacks so I could use my PSP as an mp3 player.
    Then I heard Kenny's system & saw what Capn' biju was up to & started looking around at this-n-tat...
    All of a sudden, the whole thing got away from me & started snowballing.
