Need advice from the gurus...I was always inclined towards Alpine and in my last car; Eclipse head units. I am contemplating the purchase of a Clarion headunit DXZ745MP and have NO experience with this brand. I'm piecing together my sound system, this item is for sale, and I would appreciate the opinion of the "board". I get better advice here, than at Sound Advice (in Miami), if you know what I mean..

Thanks....

I like my Clarion, I have the 655 and its great. No issues and install was easy.

 

I've read some good things and some bad things about these units, however those are just reviews not my personal experience. Seems ok though.

 

I'm running a Clarion in my Monte Carlo and an Eclipse in my S2000. The Clarion I have (9675) is a great headunit.

I have a clarion DRX9575Rz headunit with a DPH7500z processor. I've had this setup since '99 and in many different cars. Never a problem.

 

I had a Clarion Pro Audio unit in my bimmer... it looked like this:



I LOVED this unit. I forget the exact model number, it had no internal amp and was very very solid. Beautiful sound. I installed a sound system with a Blaupunkt head unit, and sounded okay (playing through a Kenwood amp). Then I upgraded to this Clarion unit, made no other changes, and sound was 100% clearer. I miss it... r.i.p. (sold car)

 

I've had two different Clarion ProAudio units in my S and I've loved them both. Quality and sound get a from me.

 

I've had two clarion head units. One was a regular CD/MP3 type player with an aux in on the back. The face plate was made out of metal (not plastic), the sound quality was great and the whole unit had a very solid feel to it.

The second one I had was a flip out. Liked it so much I've moved it to 3 different cars. It now lives in my girls car and she loves it. Tons of options very easy to use, good sound.

A close friend bought an 1995 eclipse a while back that had a full clarion setup in it (source, processor, etc) and loved it as well.

The older stuff (6+ years ago) had some problems. But the newer stuff all seems to rock (though the cosmetics of this years models aren't my style).

 

Dammit....that is the same headunit I used to have several years ago. I am trying to find that model number too.......because I want another one!!!! That had to have been my favorite headunit to date!!!! We need to find that model number!!!

 

I found out what it is.....Clarion ProAudio HX-D10 !!!!
