Audio/Visual & Electronics - Need help picking new deck......

For my 2004 Civic EX coupe. I want to spend up to $350. I will also eventually be replacing the stock speakers and adding a sub and amp. these are what I am looking at right now

I like the pioneer because it has all the features I need and is currently $100 off but the buttons are all blue and my dash, etc are red. I like Alpine stuff but they are only using 2v outputs which is no good when I will be using amps. The kenwoods look good but no experience with them. Anyone else got any recommendations? Thanks,

Dave

I'd go with the pioneer or the alpine. I have an alpine that I love. I havn't had any problems with running two amps. Either way you'll be happy.

I like my alpine, but I'm old school... this one is flip down but I liked my older alpine with the slot. I wish they made slot style h/u's with the same features as the fancier flip downs.

I'd go with the Pioneer or Alpine also. I just bought a Pioneer DEH-6800MP with the ipod adapter off of Ebay for $220 and absolutely love it

I agree, slots rule. Nakamichi still makes them at the least

also consider kenwood head units... got to the kenwood site and look there too, i have a kenwood kdc series with "g-analyzer" graphic motion analyzer its a component inside the deck that shows me my acceleration, cornering, rpm, and quarter time and then some!! with out hooking all the stuff in your computer, all you have to hook up is the deck itself but you do need to set it up like youre setting up your bass,treble and mids.... oh yeah and it also sounds great!
