What HU should I buy? My OEM HU just went out :(

BeigeMaxima · 11-01-2001, 05:07 PM

Sup all,

I'm now in the market for a new HU. I have looked at the Pioneer DEH-7300. Anyone know the ups and downs of that Model? I have also looked at the JVC LX300 (aka Kameleon) also the ups and downs of this model?

I just want an awesome HU that will work with my mp3car setup (so it must have AUX IN). Please help you all it sucks driving around with no sound.

Thanks,

BucWheat.

I don't know about the Pinoneer model, but I do have JVC LX. It has aux in, out, woofer out...which is good. I don't know if I got the defect, but if you use it a long time in very hot temp, the control panel won't go in smoothly. Mine worked fine for about 2yrs, and now when I push the power, the control panel goes in half way. I kinda have to push it a little bit to get the cd out.
Anyway, if you are going to use it for caputer, I think it would work fine since it has aux in, out.(well.....if not most, all of the aftermarket HUs have them..I think.)

Not all aftermarket units have an aux-in yet but alot of them do now. I recently bought a Blaupunkt Key Largo for $200 which is very nice. 50Wx4, aux-in sub out and looks good (IMO) I will try to get pictures of it this weekend both during the day and at night. (need new pictures of my setup anyways

I bought a JVC KDSH77 and it has 2 aux inputs on it... as well as 3 sets of RCA pre out ( rear, subwoofer, front) all 4V...and a built in 3 band equalizer.. sound is awesome =) I paid around $210 from ubid.com
