What headunit to get

[richy22]

I have a dvd player and seperate screen in my valver. the screen doesnt have a built in speaker so wanted to run the sound through my head unit. Do certain head units come with phono inputs?? was thinking about a pioneer one??

Certain headunits come with AUX inputs to do what you want. Most manufacturers now have units with it in. The cheapest way to do it is probably a Panasonic but Pioneer and Alpine definately do them too.

i personally dont like pioneer, many people do but i feel that the sound quality has been taken over by flashy graphics.

this is the head unit i would like and also recomend.

such a nice head unit, clarion sound is really nice also not to harsh but very clear, i have an alpine cda 7893r and it is a very good headunit but i looked at the alpine range and couldnt see 1 with a aux in or rca in at all. the clarion has every thing u could need.

what sorta price am looking at for the clarion??
