Try to overlook my grammar. The sight of my new radio is bringing me to tears. Maybe that was the credit card statement. Either way, it is here. I ordered a new Eclipse 8454 8volt Head Unit, Eclipse 7504 dual voice coil 10 inch woofer, new titanium tweets for the componants, and a set of three way eclipse point source 6x9's. The Head unit and sub came in today. The others are due in between September and October (new models). I will be taking some pics of the install this weekend. I made a aluminum adaptor plate to hold the head unit and seems to work great. Some info for 2003 owners with xm. The head unit will loose chimes but that is all. I have been driving with the radio out for almost three weeks. No other problems in that area. I hope this HU sounds as good as it looks. It is insane what they have placed on these things. Three sets of preouts. Optional aux or digital input for audio sources. A normal and pro mode for the DSP. In normal one parametric and 13 graphic eq's are available. In pro mode ten parametric and 13 graphic eq's are available. 45 seperate frequencie ranges to choose between. Time alignment. A three way crossover with optional 12 and 24 db slopes allows for tweets, mids and lows to be used in a band pass fashion. Mp3, wma, ATRAC3 decoders. Optional voice control and navigation. E-iserve that uses a out board mic to adjust your eq and dsp settings to your car. Good God, if it cooked and cleaned.... well I won't go there. I don't need to sticky it before it ever reaches the car. I am curious to see how my laptop funtions with the aux in. My laptop has a audio card with digital out. this could be cool.
