So Clarion makes good head units right? I mean they've been around forever and make pretty much everything. Would you recommend Clarion, and why?

    I would recommend Clarion because they are a solid built unit with comparable features for their price piont.

    Thats about it.

    Theyre as good as anything out there I rekon. I kinda think theyre homely looking so I stick to Alpine myself.

    This is true. They don't really catch your eye like others do.

    eye catching is for kids who drive a honda with a big **** can on the back...

    Nah. Youre going to be looking at your head unit a lot over the next while. Might as well make it a good looking one.

    There is a difference between a cool looking head unit and one with a effing movie screen on it.

    I feel clarion makes decent quality stuff, their pro audio amplifers are very nice IMO, $$$ is not good, but I have not had a chance to mess with the new subs
