i've been looking into getting a new head unit but i wanted something a little flashy than normal and was looking at two with the graphics on them with the race cars and skiers and stuff. anyway the two i'm looking at are jvc and pioneer. which one is better or is there a difference at all? i don't know much about the audio brands and what not so help me out! thanks guys.

Hmmm, well if you're going for graphics then get one of those I suppose. Personally I'd rather put my money into features and quality rather than flashy graphics put onto a crappy cd player just to sell it.

Of the two I would chose pioneer. Of all the years I sold car audio I rarely saw a pioneer come back, but JVC's broke constantly.

I rock Alpine and always will :thumbsup

jvc has a nice selection nowadays

I have a Pioneer DEh-P8500 and let me tell you this head unit is awesome! I got it from harmonycomputers for $300 and you can get it at etronics for $315. I has a shit load of features I just love and very tweakable. I recommend taking a look at some of the premier headunits from pioneer. If you like look at my cardomina page I have my headunit on there

I install car audio everyday. At out shop we sell Alpine, Pioneer, Panasonic, JVC, Kenwood, and Sony. My professional opinion is to buy a Alpine or Pioneer. Personal opinion is to buy a Pioneer hands down. Everything else comes back. Alpine's quality seems to be just about as good as long as you don't get one with a motorized face. My .02 cents anyways.

i dont know a whole hell of a lot about the different brands, but i have had head units from jensen to sony to alpine. and right now, im running a full pioneer system from 6x9's to 5" subs in the front, a pioneer amp and 2 pioneer 10" subs. the only problem i had, was getting the 6x9's to fit, but other than that i wont buy anything but pioneer. i currently have a pioneer head unit, but im looking to get an avh-p6500dvd touch screen dvd player from pioneer. im a freak, what can i say :)
