Well, some of you know that my 6 year old eclipse head unit decided to stop playing cds ( I loved that thing). So, I decided to set out and get a new(er) super coolio one. Check it out! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7512518362&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEBI%3AIT&rd=1

Please dont outbid me! I really need it for my trip to CT... Im coming from SC soooo I will basically go insane without a radio. I cant enjoy the sound of my engine that long lol. My only concern is how it will match my currnet interior considering they sort of went with a more "white" approach to the head unit



Here are some better pics and some more info on it. It seems to be a great deck and hey, its an Eclipse.

Like you I also worked in an install bay. I understand what you mean. The only time Ive seen those broken is when they were neglected. And after all Eclipse makes a good product generally. The deck im bidding on was near $400. It would cost me under $100 to get it fixed... still a good deal to me. I would have dumped the bank to get one of the new ones but im a little grossed out and dissapointed about the new design, it looks like an Eclpise got in bed with a kenwood.

Can"t ad much about the head unit by Eclipse, but I can give proops to Eclipse for their speakers for which I run 6 of those in my Cruiser Car..I'm a Jazz and Hip-Hop(mild) fan and those Eclipse speakers are the ones for me...

Yaayyyyy! I got it in today and wired it up. Just to say to all of you, I am completly BLOWN AWAY with the sound quality of this thing. Once again, my trust for Fujitsu Ten and its sister company Eclipse has grown tremendously. My older Eclipse (54410 w/sub outs) was sounding a little better than my mothers stock Volvo S60 sound system (accept the fact that my bass system rapes the Volvo). Now, the new one (5423) is sounding far better than my fathers 04 RANGE ROVER could ever dream. Im stoked, absolutley. By far one of the best sounding head units Ive listened to. I dont normally write something like this unless im extremly impressed. As a parting note, me wonders what Eclipse's super high end line (Monitor) sounds like.
