I understand what you mean about putting the money into the motor, really I do. But to post that this unit is great and not stipulate that it is great based on the price is unfair and bias to the members reading this. Now if you would have said I bought this unit and had it installed but chose it based on price, then that would make sense.
I wasn't saying that anyone didn't have the 25 years experience. I do find it hard to believe that a veteran in the audio world would chose a base model brand for his best pick. Now if you asked him for the best unit under 600 dollars, then I can understand the response. I would have given you the same answer.
Yellow Venom the best unit for the buck requires 2 stipulations. First, do you want the cheapest unit that might last? If so spend your 400-600 dollars on a Jensen. Or do you want a unit that has superior sound control, power, adaptability, and quality? If so I recommend these brands (generally): Eclipse (best sound reproduction bar none), Alpine, Kenwood (best screens), Pioneer (best pricing and readily available), and Clarion (best user interface). To actually answer your question I would go with these as an all around favorite choice: Pioneer AVICF500BT ( Circuit City: $600, Ebay $400) if you own an 06 truck and want nav, bluetooth, usb, and ipod (does not play movies just cd's and nav). If you just want a good quality unit with DVD then I recommend the Clarion VRX785BT (Dealer $999, Ebay $500). It has bluetooth, usb, ipod, and capability to add a nav harddrive. But like I stated in the previos post, everyone has an opinion, that is what makes our country so great. I chose these based on price and features. If you have an exact need out of the unit, post it up and I would be glad to help. that is why I am on the forum, to share what I know, in hopes of it being reciprocated in the area that I know nothing about: mechanics.
Now DevilDawg for calling me the "genius" I consider it a useless insult. I do not know everything, I learn new things everyday. I did not nor was I trying to insult you......but do me a favor: The next time you call someone a genius, make sure your tag line is spelled right "genius"
I am sorry again if you took offense to my previous posts. I was just trying to make you aware. I could have said nothing but then what good would that have done. I was sharing the info to help you. You even said yourself that there is validity to what I was saying. After all ultimately I don't care what you put in your truck. I was just trying to help in the transfer of pertinent information.
Thanks for the info there Frank.
