shamuz is 30km away (i live in the center of ottawa).

I still think that Infinity is crap.
Clarion is something i havent heard, but just from the build quality of the decks i've seen, they look really .

What do you guys think of this http://www.eclipse-web.com/avn/avn2210poverviews.html

I'd rather run a stock system than something from Derand

A total waste of money. I was trying to better my wife's stock system in her Santa Fe and they are just as horrible as the originals.

Why then are all the manufacturers using Infinity systems ????

While talking with the installer, he said that the original unit from Hyundai was a Clarion and to avoid it at all cost.

20 years ago, Clarion was on top, beside Blaupunk, Alpine, Telefunken and some odd exotic brands. Pioneer was absolute crap. Bose was also on top of the game but I hear they are no good anymore.

See how things change?

They're a straight shot down Bank St. (about 10 minutes from centertown). There are several others in Ottawa but you will have to drive more than 10 minutes to any of them. Are you considering installing yourself? The vendors on this site often have great deals.
