i must chip my bit in i got the SH55R as mentioned above and its awsome! im well pleased with it.
If you read Total Car Audios Last issue OCT/NOV02 the SH909R wins best head unit under 450 pound hands down against an Alpine CDA78944rb which costs £450, A kenwood PSW9521 which is also £450 and a pioneer DEH7400MP which is £379. and the JVC is £50 cheaper bargain!!!
Well there we have the experts at TCA have spoken!!!
And i didnt buy mine because it looked nice eithier i bought it for the features and quality of playback it offers!!
and is compatible with OE Steeing wheel remote interfaces
i use to have a cd/md unit (1din) it was superb but it clipped like crazy a high volume. the alpine units have a higher output and higher pre out voltage
there range of adjustment is far better and the Ai-net interface allows extas to be added :
DAB*
Dvd changer
Dsp
Dolby pro logic
Dolby Digital
Phone
*jvc do offer dab too
Thanks people, I believe the KD-SH909 is the best buy for what its worth, everyone know the Alpine is better but it also cost an arm and a leg, the JVC has 6 channel RCA outs, 24 bit DAC, 4V signal out, MP3...etc... etc, and it only costed me HK$2080. Im putting it in on the weekend and cant wait!
jvc are alright, but different people have different requirements.
Im now going to go stroke my pioneer 7400, mp3 player
I must admit, I wouldnt buy anything other than pioneer or alpine. My mate has the alpine mp3 player and Im pretty impressed with that. I prefer the pioneer on looks alone to be honest, looks mint in the clio!
Dont get me wrong, I love Alpine, but I needed a silver face HU because I drive a MK1 and the dash is silver where the HU goes. and the JVC was a bargin @ half the price of the Alpine!
