I finally bought my new HU. I was lucky enough to meet an old friend from Tweeter and talk some good car audio talk. As much as he loves Kenwood and Alpine, he suggested that I spend fewer dollars than originaly intended and pick up a couple of left over Eclipse pieces he had in his store. His premise was... Eclipse and Nakamichi make great gear, but are notoriously behind the curve on cutting edge consumer products,eg. MP3. He saw that I had great amp and speakers and suggested I wait a year, if possible, for Eclipse and Nakamichi to get up to speed. I agreed and then bought a 'new' Eclipse 55430 HU (in the box), same as the CD5441, and an Eclipse 2301 DSP (in the box) for a total of $325. I am very happy with that deal. Thanks to all who offered valuable advice and more. I am now looking for cables. Looks like I will need 3 sets of 1meter and 3 sets of 5 meter RCA's. KnuKonceptz Krystals was the first thing I thought of. Tweeter was pushing the 6 channel Monster XLN. Thoughts??? Thanks Again
