Hey guys,

I'm thinking of replacing my Kenwood HU.Can recommend any good ones?At present I'm looking at these models.

Pioneer 5850MP
Pioneer 6850MP
Eclipse CD2000
Eclipse CD3000

Does anyone have the price for these 2 models?
Pioneer 7750
Eclipse CD4000
Eclipse CD5000

Thanks guys

im using 6850. nice .
as for 5850, only 2.2v output .. if u are planing for amp not tat good i think.
CD2000/3000 .. both face not detachable .... worry someone will go smash ur window and steal it ..

What is the V output for the 6850?May i know what speakers are you using with the HU?

What i know is that Eclipse have 5.0V output with 55ohms

The output voltage would only be a matter if you use external amps, if you plan to stick with the HU for amplification, it doesn't matter.

Eclipse is known to have high voltage, low resistance output.

output voltage for 6850 is 4v.. yeap .. eclipse 5v...

Any of you compared both units before?I'm a person who prefer sound quality rather than features:)

how bout car theft ?
if no worries then i suggest u take the eclipse

eclipse has a more neutral sound.. ECLIPSE would b OK since u said feature ain't important for u..

Go for Eclipse CD5000 la...
U think Eclipse CD5000 can't detachable, dun have anti thieve function meh?!

Thank you for everyone's comments:)

I'm eyeing at the 5000series but have no idea how much it cost la.Around Rm1.8k?

RM 1.8k need so expensive meh?

I think for 1.8k, you can probably get the CD7000 already if you are lucky, or the Pioneer P80RS which is a good unit itself as well, individual L/R EQ and crossover points, yummy!

won't b so expensive larhh unless that shop knows tat u r a super duper big waterfish..

wif rm1.8k i will get a used alpine 7998r hehehehe!.. which is rm1.6k for a used 1.. lagi cantik.. hehe

oooh.. if it is so.. try go to zerotohundred.com and check out the price.. wat car r u driving anyway?

been searching there but no one sell la.All of them said not yet arrive Malaysia

no choice then.. wait till 2molo and wait for their reply..

Thaks for your great help.i've actually browsed through US websites and most prices after conversion is around RM1800.CD4000 is around RM1200

wouldn't b as expensive as u c.. ( i think )

if u still can't get the price, try calling kenny from sound quest.. i think that fellar got stock up..

try telling them tat u were introduced by a forummer who drives a silver myvi from the forum.. (matthew).. maybe u get better price..

i dun think eclipse distributor had bring in cd4k and 5k in malaysia..if soemone selling it, mostly are taken back from other country to make profit.....

As I know Eclipse HU now are lower price...
Feel like pasar malam liao... Many shop got sell it...

Will do:D Thanks alot ya!

Are you serious?How low is low?But in Melaka is totally different.Not even a single shop is selling it.Even a CD1000

guahahaha!.. i onli know tat penang & kl famous for ICE.. i think JB also.. other states me not sure..

Not sure at Melaka loh...
Penang here... Famous shops & non-famous shops also got sell it.
Everyone fight for the price le....Price become lower...
So people say Eclipse become Pasar Malam HU liao...

wah,definitely la.People in big cities have larger income.Unlike the slow paced Melaka:D

sigh... my eclipse 5425 is dead liao.. sad case.. any1 here knows where is the service centre?

Latest update!

Got the price from Sound Quest.Selling CD5000 for RM2000+ which is out of my budget la..And i think it is over priced as well as we can get CD7000 for RM2.3k.

KF Audio informed me that CD4k and 5k is not launched in Malaysia yet.Hence,i think I'll stick to CD3000 after selling my HU.Anybody interested?

Also,who can offer me the best price for CD3000 inclusive of postage?

ha! ha! sound quest do haf the priority from eclipse cz as i know they did call me about cd7000 when it was not out in m'sia yet.

cd3000 is good.. anyway.. zth got ppl selling.. jordan something something.. quite cheap dei.. he! he!

some fella in zth purposely throw price to fight with competitor while they dun really got the stock....try to call him and see....

Yeah,I've contacted the Jordan guy but he don't do postage.Will get it from our taiko above:P

sorry for the wrong info cz i thought that the eclipse 5425 is the replacement for cd5000..

try www.mycarhifi.com, there have a thread selling eclipse CD3000 less then 1k.

i am using cd3000, have to say it sounds better then my previous alpine 9807.

yarh.. eclipse does sounds better..

but it has 2 look @ what types of amp and comp set u r matching wif..

Guys,

How's Eclipse CD3000 perform compared to Alpine CDA-9856R ?

I know eclipse is quite good but the face design is kinda ahbeng-ish.

I wonder if it's fit into vios.

Between these two HU, if you want very clear sound, go for eclipse otherwise ... you can go for alpine.

The last time, I tested these two players ... and eclipse was too "clear" for me. I did not bought the CDA-9856R but I bought a CDA-9853 which is a 2005 model. Both of this player sounds almost the same but I just wanted the built in crossover.

Actually all these player will fit your vios, if you're using the high line specs, you just need to buy a cover(dunno wut you call it) to cover up the other half of the hole.

Offtopic :
For eclipse HU, if the thieves are dumb and dunno bout the anti theft function, then no point having the anti theft thing right ? They will still take it

And is the anti theft thing invincible ? As in, not able to be hacked ?
