to be honest im still not sure what head unit to go with.......... it would suck if the new models Alpine will be made in China not Japan anymore... I have narrowed my choices to go with Alpine, Pioneer or Clarion though.. Has anyone experienced the Clarion iPOD interface? Or should I still go with Alpine if they are the best at conecting iPOD? Should I go with those touch-screen models or is it a waste?Should I consider those head units that have 7" screen or touch screen at all even I have to pay about 4-7 hundreds more? I wanna get a decent head unit before I can save up for an amp or 2 then some good two of 12" subs. ...sorry if I sound like a pain but I really have no idea where I should head to.. thanks
