Which headunit to buy out of these.... $500 max

[anfz]

Hey guys need some opinions on what to get ,basically Im looking for a headunit maybe $500 max ,Ive come up with a list within my price range by doing the rounds at car audio shops and this is what I have come up with

Alpine CDA 9856i $349

Alpine CDA 9857 $430

JVC KDG 825 $419

Pioneer DEH P6850 $429

Panasonic CQC7703 $500

if anyone can give me pro's or con's for these units or even suggest something else within my price range that would be great,I also have an ipod and usb key, so I wouldnt mind a headunit which has that option thanks heaps guys

you should get a JVC KD AVX1 the one with the little 3 inch screen, i got one there pretty good, im sure they've gone down to about $450 now with the release of the new version of it.

Eclipse CD3000 or CD4000 or Alpine 9857

btw, didnt u already ask this question in CAA? http://www.caraudioaustralia.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=74075

even though i like Alpine speakers and subs. i have to recommend the JVC deck. they are awesome!

Integraz yeah just trying to get as many opinions as I can :)

Alpine all the way.

Be careful of aftermarket refurbished Alpine products - they have become very trendy lately.

I prefer the sound of Eclipse headunits to most, if not all others.

alpine for me... clarity is the word
JVC too much bass
pioneer no go for me
panasonic havent tried

[Bayani]

Pioneer for me, Thanks.

where abouts u get the 430 quote for the 9857 ?

[yummy]

ive had alpine and pioneer decks and out of them i'd definately choose alpine.

fast-forwarding on pioneers for mp3 tracks is soo annoying its so slow!

[Chronos]

For SQ, I choose the alpine out of that list.

Would have to recommend the Alpine deck! Personallyi think when it comes to features and style its hard to beat the alpine!
