In dash DVD head unit w/ motorized screen?

[DaddyBuiltRacing]

I put mine in the stock radio location, it had room still to tilt to the position I wanted it in

 

[BeatBox]

here IMO of decks (double din/cheaper decks/ flip outs)

Here's mine, only picture i have of it. it works perfect, its a pioneer DVD 6600 or something like that(willing to sell for $350 shipped PM for details) its stay flipped out most of the time, but when it comes out it sits even with the dash panel/as panel doesnt hit it tho.

Double dins are nice and all but if u live where ppl steal sht alot then thats the last thing u want in ur car, for flip outs you can atleast on some take the face plate off. on double dins or atleast the expensive ones for the most part u cant

cheap or expensive? if u are into car audio and have alot of money into your system you DONT want to cheap out on the stereo/deck because YOU WILL notice the difference in sound. Good brand Pioneer/Alpine/Kenwood/SoundStream/Clarion
if you ARE NOT into the big system thing then a cheaper brand like Dual or Jensen(same thing with different brand on the deck lol ) will do the trick ONLY THING is the face plate on most of their flip outs DONT COME OFF. another thing most have a angle feature so that u can angle it to the point that it doesnt hit.

hope that helps! let me know if u have any more Q's

I cant really say i'm into car audio now, but trying to get into it..I'm getting two JL 10 or 12 in subs in a sealed box. I'm going for tight bass with no distortion so thats why I'm buying JL's and the sealed box is for the same reason. I'm going to be paying $400+ for those and then another $300 or so for the amp to power them so i definitely didnt want to go small for the head unit. Id consider $350 shipped for yours but it would help if you found out the model name so i could compare the price and features and stuff..? Thanks for the help man

hey OP why go with a sealed.....don't get me wrong to each there own but I'm a total bass junkie and imo a ported box will sound better and push out some more bass since there's no air restriction

I just want to upgrade, only thing it doesnt charge Iphone or iPod toch. it will work but just doesnt charge them, all the older models it WILL charge tho. i have a 30g ipod video and it works like a champ

I was thinking sealed box because ive heard that:

sealed=better quality and tighter sounding bass (less distrotion)
ported=louder bass

I dont really need bass that shakes the neighbors houses but i do want nice sound that can be heard around my car at least..I definitely don't want to make any sacrifices in sound quality. Any distortion that blocks out song lyrics is bad even if that means louder bass. Is sealed a good idea or is ported still better?

And @BeatBox about your pioneer head unit, i found one on ebay for $150 starting bid $250 BIN..? Could you go any lower on your price?

 

[BeatBox]

nah ill pass, thanks tho. i dont want to sell it for too cheap, if it dont sell ill just end up keeping it and buying another one

Just get a single din with the tilting screen...
also mount it lower on the console area....instead of mounting in the upper spot as most do....go with the lower din spot underneath.
More of the older single din pioneers,jvc,clarions have the tilting features along with added security....
Keep looking and you will find it in your price range...

Honestly it's all about what you want....I've had sealed boxes before and now I'll just stick with a port....also make sure if you find the subs you want you get a box that's gonna match up to the specs for airspace it helps out alot
