what's the most expensive HU you ever put in a 3rd gen?
 

Like the title states, just curious on what is the most expensive HU you guys ever put in the 3rd gen? What kind of media can it play, what are its functions?

Models, pictures will be appreciated also.

as for me, I will post later when I have pictures of my setup

I had a Pioneer that cost me about 350 or so I think......it was the DEP-99r3f94384383th blah blah blah.....it was aight though...the sound quality wasnt as good as my Clarion but it did play mp3s and whatnot....it was pretty decked out with options

I have a Clarion HX-D10 in mine, they don't make em anymore but were about 800 new. Next HU I buy will be a URAL ConceRt hands down, that thing is Jesus.

Probably my Pioneer P9 Combo (DEX-P9 and DEQ-P9, deck and processor as one HU). Suggested retail for the DEX-P9 is $1280 and retail for the DEQ-P9 is $840. The total would be $2020 but of course I didn't pay ANYWHERE near that price since I bought it used from EBAY. :)

I don't have anything too special, but I've seen some with LCD touchscreens in the dash.

How much is that new Russian HU? What are it's spec?

Another questions for you guys, what is the expected price also cheapest for a HU that does Navi w/voice, plays DVD, mp3, wma and has a touch screen?

Yeah, I was going to mention that someone probably has me beat with in dash touch screen HU. I think that having "TV" in your your car is more of a BLING factor than anything else. Everyone I know that has a screen in their car hardly even uses it. Although, it would be nice for road trips and personally, I'd love to have navigation.

BTW my P9 is so basic it doesn't even play mp3's. LOL

^^^^^^^^ hardcore old skool mannnnnnnnn!!!!!

respect...respect...:bowdown1:

The P9 is hardly old school. My HU won't play mp3's either, nor will the Denon R1. For the Russian unit, as far as I know, they still aren't available in the states, but Elemental Designs has a group buy going supposedly for $500 shipped. I really wanna pick one up.

no, when i say old school, I meant that you likes the sound quality and none of the newer "high tech" multimedia stuff.

That's a very good price for all of those features. Good luck getting it and hopefully you like it (I'm sure you will). :)

That's what I thought you meant too. I am "old school" and I HATE MP3 (except when I play them on the computer through sh!ty speakers). I like to make people laugh at the fact that my HU cost alot of money but it doesn't even play mp3's. LOL :)

You got my respect there man, none of my previous HU could play mp3 either, but since I'm pretty much a young kid, I tend to demand the latest stuff, and you guess it... an mp3 capable player. :D

I'm pretty much a young kid too, I'm only 20....LMAO

bahhhhhhhhh, I shall be your older bro then.... figured you were in your 30s. Guess not, btw, this thread is getting wayyyyyyyyy off topic.

you guys do the figuring out of its capability :D

mine was free.
it was also old skool, an alpine CDE-7827 vintage 1996
not sure how old this new one is yet.

Kraco 8-track. I love it when the track changes in the middle of a song.:laugh:
I bet most of you have never heard one.

I have.
I was looking for a recorder for the longest time.

I have actually used an 8 track before, so its nothing too vintage for me.

$150-200ish

Old Black 93 had a Kenwood 316 (i forget the specific model, nothing special)

Old (:() White 92 had an Eclipse 5423

Kind of want to use an Eclipse AVN-7000 in my Mustang, or just reuse my 5423 lol.

First was a KEH-P7200 with a DEQ-9000 EQ/crossover. combo was approx $1000.

second setup was scrapping both of thsoe with a Premier DEX-P1R... new retail was approx $900 on it.. also added a CDX-P600 (I think) changer in it. about $500 new.

that was 2 channel, 3 way, EQ/time alignment and 7 CDs. no MP3, no video, no surround, dead-head (no built-in amps).
4 Precision Power amps, four 13" Focal subs, two 6.5" Focal mids, two 1" tweets.

total retail cost, about $7800.. HU setup was $1400 retail.

That's what you have in the "track slut" huh? BTW, how was your trip? Glad to see ya back!

Matt, how is the rebuild of your car going? Or are your wife still on your case about it, like maxitech stated, glad to see you back in the forum. Any future project planned for the 3rd gen?

I am not overly sure of retail now since it did go down since the release of the 2 new models..

Nakamichi CD-400 ... no mp3s, 2 colors, black aluminum .. beautiful... Oh wait I also have a denonford 8240 here too.

I do however plan on moving up to the Nakamichi CD-700II .. :)

here's mine...Insignia IN-MP101, running on Factory BOSE, sounds good...$119 from Best Buy....
