Opinions on a few headunits...
I am thinking of getting a new head unit but I don't know what kind to get. I have been looking at a few brands and I was wondering if I could get some input on each brand or if you could put them in order from your fav to least fav or tell me if you would absolutely never buy any of them.
Clarion
Kenwood
JVC
Pioneer
Eclipse
Panasonic
I don't want alpine because I heard they are too complicated to control. If you guys have any other suggestions please let me know and tell me where I could get them. Thanks much for any opinions.

Main features are going to be the deciding factor here.
If I was out to purchase a new HU I would be looking very hard at the new Pioneer 880PRS. Dual 16-band EQ,5v outputs, excellent three-way crossovers available, very good time alignment, an auto-EQ/TA feature that works quite well, detachable faceplate, beautiful classy looks, and a decent warranty. All at an unbelievable price.

So far Ebay is the best price if you're living in Canada. Some guys in the US getting them from their dealers for $350-400USD. Some guys up here quoted $800 for one. Ebay is ~$325+ for one.
I would try to find a local dealer willing to not rape you on the price of one and if that fails then turn to Ebay.

In the end I would get Alpine though.

Well, I got myself an alpine just recently, and I'm really satisfied with it. It's a CDA-9831. It took a little getting used to the menus, just like with any new headunit, but now I'm fine. I don't think it's as complicated as you've been told.
