Could not resist any longer. I just picked up my Eclipse CD8455. I paid for the install that way I could get the 3 year warrranty . I will probably really start playing with it on Monday. So far I am really liking it .

 

HAHA...welcome back to Eclipseland!

I put my 8454 back in my car last night to throughly test it before selling. The 8455 goes back in a few days.

 

Very happy to be back .

 

how much was it? if ya don't mind me asking.

 

Ofcourse not, 4 1/2 .

 

ah i see. i'm looking at their lower end stuff

that 8455 is a little bit out of my range

 

Nice enjoy it

 

I have gotten more time to play with the HU. This things is very nice . The first thing I noticed is that when I have the time alignment engaged, it works way better than my previous HU. With my previous HU the sound stage seemed very small. I though it may have been my speakers going out, but those old things are still sounding good, especially with this HU. I finally figured out it was the T.A. feature that gave me that tiny sound stage with my Pioneer, kind of tunnel vision of sound (I tried all different settings, even all of the manual settings sounded the same as the auto settings). With the Eclipse HU this does not occur. I use the T.A. feauture, and the sound stage is still pretty wide. This is a great HU, and they fixed the little things that kind of bugged me with my CD8454.

Oh, the kids preferred the dolphins, but I explained to them why this is a good trade off . My little one told me her favorite color is red. I then did the red and blue, and she said "No Daddy, all of it red". I guess I can do this for her since the dolphins are gone .

 

Congrats, you will love it. I know I have really enjoyed mine.

 

You know you can make screen savers and have the dolphins back if you really wanted to.

 

I may do that for my little one .

 

Welcome back to Eclipse sir, I knew it would happen sooner or latter.

 

Could not stay away any longer . Very happy to be back!

 

Im still not decided on whether to do one of the AVNs, or possibly a 8456

 

Can't go wrong with either one .

What new new thingks will the 8456 have over the 8455?

 

I could tell ya, but then Id have to...

Ah hell I cant tell ya.

 

Actually not even whether I can or cant, I just dont like posting info without solid confirmation. With Eclipse....ya never know as their ideas always change and some things just never make it out.

 

Well that keeps everyone on their toes. Including installers. Now that I'm getting rid the screen and dvd player it'll be easier to upgrade

 

Understood. Don't want to get the natives all pumped up and then have things change.

 

Blah get outta here Broken Pioneer lovin Bish.

 

My thoughts exactly. Although the info that I do have isnt much to begin with...

 

Man......
j/k

 

O yea, I did get your PM, although kinda late and forget to get back to you. Good choice and good price though. Its what I would have suggested anyway.

 

Tehehehehehe

He told me his Pioneer broke...I laughed, then it broke again and I ... . Then he bought another one and guess what happened...

 

No prob . I figured you've been very busy with the little ones, and then the holidays.

 

The second one is about to sell in said condition

 

What's that saying....... fool me once shame on you..... fool me twice.....

 

any bids on it yet?

 

Nope, alot of e-mails, multiple people wanting to buy it outside of the auction

 

LMAO.

I beat him in the head with Eclipse too. For a comparibly priced 8454 he woulda been fine.

 

Maybe youll buy an Alpine next?

 

It's eclipse or nothing this time.



Eclipse or bust 2006!

 

Can you say Glidetouch........ yuck

 

Hehe trix are for kids.

 

If you didnt just buy that amp, I would suggest nothing.

 

Lucky me, lucky me. I'll ride this pioneer out till it does it again. Then get a new Eclipse. Most likely.
