Pioneer, Alpine, or JVC?

Did you ISO mount, or use the DIN sleeve? There are no screws in mine at all.



If I could change the angle I would, but I am seriously thinking of getting a new Clarion DXZ835, which would let me change colors to match the interior of my EP, and also has a negative screen image, which is better in sunlight.

I love my Alpine though!

On the sides of the head unit, (make sure the domestic car adaptor sleeve is off) there should be several screw holes.

When you place the HU in the proper way, you should have two screw holes lined up on each side that match with the factory screw-holes.

Above the FRONT holes on the HU, there should be be another screw hole... These are the ones I used. This resulted in the head unit only being secured by 2 screws instead of 4, but it is still plenty solid. It also angles the rear of the unit up about 30 degrees, and makest the display much more readable in sunlight.

Thanks. I have misplaced the screws that came with the H/U, so mine is mounted in the sleeve. Looks like it is off to the hardware store to find some screws that will fit...

Circuit City did my install since the car was brand new and I did not want to make any mistakes. Instead they scratched the hell out of my dash (but replaced it with a new one.) I am sure they did it the quick and easy way, so now I'll go back and do it right!

PIONEER all the way man. Alot of my friends have pioneer and its great quality. The man is right about the green but i personally think it looks badass. But yea in quality wise id definately say Pioneer bro.

i would say the clarion dxz735 or dxz835. they are both nice HU and i am gettin the dxz735 in jan. when i start my system. i like how they have multiple color choices and u could change the color everyday for 3 months without seeing a new color. it looks great too.

My JVC + Pict display. Repping ephatch.com all the way:shadesm:

I really wish I had picked up the "model up" from my JVC deck. I'm kicking myself for not having the MP3 function. And after seeing ATRIOTS pic....I wish I had the downloadable pic feature too. That's sickass!

Yeah 10 hours of music on a $.50 cent Cd is fuckin great. The only thing is my car is littered with them, i just burn a new one depending on my mood pretty much every day. Yeah camera Pans across the pic of the EP while the www.ephach.com stays stationary. Its pretty cool but kinda limited feature.
