I just bought a 2 year old Clarion head unit from Ebay for $100. My Bose Head Unit is starting to go.
Anyone have any good or bad experiences with Clarion? Hear anything?

Thanks,
Roman

They are pretty good. Does it say Clarion on the deck or Clarion Pro Audio?

I love Clarion's Pro Audio stuff. I didn't care for the looks of the last series, but the new ones look and sound great!!!

clarion is good

the pro audio stuff the model numbers that end in z is real good stuff... no engine noise no back ground hiss at mine have 4v output and the z ehancer which i think is garbage...
i think the bbe is better the old one...

I like my Clarion ProAudio HU. I have a 2 year old 6575z. Yeah, the Z-enhancer bites. Also, I dont like the way the random function works...or doesnt work. And I think the high end is too sharp, I like a more mellow treble. I have my Eclpise silk dome tweeters turned all the way down on the crossovers and some of the treble dialed out on my EQ and it's still too much, I think it must be the HU now that I have everything else tweaked down a little.


But overall, nice stuff.

Well, it's a refeurb, which you *might* want to be causions of, and it the last style. Since it's an auction, you may in the end wind up paying too much for it. I don't know what your budget is, but I like this one, the DXZ615:

Crutchfield has it for $299, which means you could find it cheaper I'm sure on the net.

Yeah..that's a nice unit...the only thing is that my budget is around $150-$170. That's why I am looking on EBay for some nice deals.

Well, the one you are looking at one E-bay, has quite a few features, so it might be just what your looking for......

I hope so cause I just bought it for $185. I figure that if I'm not happy with it I'll just resell it. Shouldn't be too hard to sell a Clarion HU.

This is the 4th head unit I have bought in the last two weeks. The last 3 all didnt' have the features I wanted. I've been doing a lot of HU dealing..hehehe
