Do you have an Alpine headunit? I need pics...

[Cliche Guevara]

I'm not sure the model number, but the Alpine I have matches really well when you switch it over to red illumination. If it helps it's the one with a flip down face, USB out the back, and no bluetooth.

Luke or any other audio guys,

That JVC head unit (the KDR720) looks pretty choice. Any reason to go with the Pioneer HU you recommended in your $500 build thread over the JVC? Or am I just splitting hairs at this price range?

Hopefully I'm not threadjacking...

Thanks

nice, I had the same deck in my 325e, only issue I had with it was the color - wish it was red... loved everything about it otherwise!

This takes the cake, but I believe these are JDM?

...but the JVC with the 5V pre-outs wins

Do you recall the model #?

[StereoInstaller1]

Luke, can you comment on the audio quality of those Pioneer HU 's available at Wally World vs. Alpine/JVC? I'm talking DAC, burr-brown stats, etc. Shit like that?

Both are actually prety impressive...but the JVC with the 5V pre-outs wins

or a silver faceplate or blue lights!

And not even an aux port or usb capability? That's lame.

[StereoInstaller1]

Bad ass high end performance and awesome build quality... They were like $1700 or some shit new

[Holland]

Lol, and it's like 800 used, what's up with that?

[StereoInstaller1]

Perfect right here, too bad it's so expensive, has no USB or BT and breaks all the time.

Fixed that for ya

I really should contact at least one of the deck makers. 99% of my customers like the idea of a plain, simple deck with good basic features and controls and ZERO graphics.

Couldn't agree more. Performance and functionality first.

Yeah I'm liking the new JVC's right now, might be going with one of their head units. A nice thing about most of their new ones is the variable color control so you can have whatever color you like.

Here is one I found with rear USB, has front USB and Aux as well, color control and lots of expandability.
