I'm torn between the:
-Panasonic MXE CQ-C9901U http://www.crutchfield.com/S-nXPLQ3prNSz/cgi-bin/ProdView.asp?g=300&I=133C9901

-Kenwood KDC-MP928 http://www.crutchfield.com/S-nXPLQ3prNSz/cgi-bin/ProdView.asp?g=300&I=113MP928

-Clarion ProAudio DXZ855MP http://www.crutchfield.com/S-nXPLQ3prNSz/cgi-bin/ProdView.asp?g=300&I=020DXZ855

-Pioneer DEH-P80MP http://www.crutchfield.com/S-nXPLQ3prNSz/cgi-bin/ProdView.asp?g=300&I=130DEHP80M


.... Any help or suggestions? I'm leaning towards the panasonic right now because of the 70x4 watt max....

alpine...but that's just my prefrance, i could probably run a stock radio and the best aftermarket radio on the same speakers and %95 of people probably couldn't tell a difference if the EQ's were set the same

Alpine or Eclipse, everything else pales in comparison. Anyone that tells you different is trying to sell you something...

eclipes' are nice and all but i've heard of A LOT of them that have problems down the road, not with the electronics but with the buttons and other pieces breaking and sticking...

I have the Eclipse CD8053 right now, 16V pre-outs. SQ on that HU is absolutely incredible, I'm actually about to sell it if anyone's interested. I'm switching back to Alpine for the iPod adapter and their Nav unit.
