Looking for a new deck
I currently have an eclipse cd5030 in one of my cars and my problem is that I can not find another deck (at least in the local audio shops around here) that has the features of my eclipse at a reasonable price tag($280). The main features I'm looking for are; 7 (or so) band eq, 5 channel timing alignment, and front/rear/sub adjustable crossovers. Most of the stores around here didnt even know what timing alignment was for 
.
Bluetooth, ipod, and AUX support would be nice too.
Thanks for the help.

If you do not mind looking at Ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Eclipse-CD50...item45fe61cfec
Some of the Kenwood decks cover most of what you are looking for, KIV-BT900, KDC-X995 for example.

I paid $313.6 for the CD5030, which is 280$ and 12% tax. I got it from Rob back when he had his store still. IIRC, he was selling it at a higher price before, but some guy from Ontario was selling them for 280$ (and Rob matched his price with out me even asking for it. Still wish his shop was around.) since Eclipse announced that they were pulling out from the retail market (and only selling OEM)

Yeah I saw the used eclipses on ebay, but I was hoping for something new, and the possibility of a warranty. I figured since its been a while, there should be better decks (more features) at least around the same price I paid for my cd5030, if not cheaper.
Guess not.
I will check out the Kenwood decks you suggested. Anyone else know of any other half decent companies offering these features at a reasonable price?
Thanks

Yeah this is pretty close, The CD5030 has a 7-band Parametric EQ. This Alpine has a 5-band...Pretty close.
I purchased an Alpine deck once, Loved it. But the one I had only had treble and bass adjustments on it and I didn't have external EQ.
Bad idea
