First Arizona Thread....

I'm sure I'll stop by the Pavillions at some point .. maybe on a regular basis, who knows. I'm definitely interested in learning what I can about the Z and car mods in general. I'm pondering saving up for that GReddy TT kit.. <3 turbos.

Anywho, will be happy to demo the system when it is done. Won't be anything outrageous.. just going for good quality, encompassing sound.

Do you have any opinions on who makes the best head unit these days?

I can tell you this. I personally own a pioneer. It was one of the higher end ones at the time. It's got a service where it provides gas prices, movie times, weather, and traffic updates. It plays movies with dolby digital surround sound. Its got back up cam etc... but i've had it for 5 years now. They have come out with much cooler things such as wireless music transfer, better display screens, modernized buttons, etc..

Kenwood makes a great system, if you like navigation and ipod/music capabilities. For instance the kenwoods voice activation for playing an album or song is much better then my pioneers. Not only that, but you can scroll much more luxuriously and so on..

Alpine to me gives out good sound quality. But the screens and setup was always so...Microsoft/ Windows '97... Boxy & Bland... It was always an eye-sore..

I wouldn't even bother looking at something else.. I have known so many people that spent the $300 and got a Jensen or JVC or something & it brakes 6 months later..

Just my opinion though

Oddly enough, those were the three brands I was considering. I've experience with Alpine, so was leaning towards them, but Pioneer has always seemed more feature-rich. Kenwood's stuff has always been great, too, from what I've seen...

My only concern with Pioneer is that they seem very hit/miss with quality. Some HUs break superfast.. others last forever. My old Alpine was rock solid, tho...

Do you have any thoughts on amps? My old firebird had a ginormous PPI amp which seemed to work well.. but I was thinkint about JL Audio this time around for the amp(s), too. I know so little about amps, tho...
