Lookin for new HU

[bigger_george 2]

I'm in the market for a new HU(since the mazda 6 kit is almost out). Here are my requirements:

- at least 4 volt pre-outs, including one for sub

- crossover for sub/mid/hi

- red illuminated buttons or at least majority red illumination

- would like it to be a silver color to match my dash but not necessary

- mp3 capability

I'm trying to gauge my options right now, and no price limit.

I was going to say the Eclipse 8454, but the red buttons kills that

I did some research and found my options are gonna be jvc, alpine, or clarion. There are some new models coming out soon tho' so i might just wait a bit

Sony uses some red illumination also, but I haven't looked at any of their stuff for some time.

i just thought it was coo, its not red thogh,

I was considering the Eclipse but they wouldn't match with that console at all. I've had too many problems with sonys to even think about em. That JVC was an option(the buttons all illuminate in red) but it only has a sub crossover.

I haven't seen the panasonic yet but i have always had a panasonic HU so if it comes with all the stuff i like i might look into it. Hopefully it is not blue, seems like almost all their HU's are blue.

The Eclipse 8454 does have the option of red illuminated buttons...

Well, if it does, i might just get it. Anyone know the retail price for it? I know the security is worthless unless i get it from an authorized dealer, wonder if i can get it from my dealer for a good price ... or maybe i should get 8445 new model hmmm

It does...it's in my car right now with red buttons.

Retail is $599US I believe.
