Hey Jeff, hich eclipse head did you end up going with? If you went with the avn vs the avx, did you get the one that was just released w/the 30gig hd or the base one? And i'm told on the avn you have to tie it in to the speed sensor ... where's that wire? Where did you put yours? I almost got a new job lined up, i'm thinkin about glassin it above the ac controls, and making a custom center console. Just lookin for some ideas. And i use monster cable throughout my car

 

the avn 5495. the shop that helped with the install suggested dblink. they seem to be ok. i love the head unit except for the fact that it's preout is useless. waiting for my signal amplifier to arrive.

 

thats sweet. is that some top gear action on the "tele" lol?

 

Hey kandied - which line of dblink cable did you go with - i noticed there's like 4 different lines, how much, how do they sound? Did you get the '05 or '06 avn? The new one (06) they were supposed to have upped the voltage from the measly 2.x volt outs to 5 volt.

 

picture is poor but i have the newest avn-5495 and the only one that i know to be out which is suppose to be 5v preout. i was talking with them at sema though and they pretty much admitted that the headunit is more for reliable basic uses then an actual audio file setup.

add a signal booster and a good eq and i should be ok, would expect something in this type of price range to not need it though. my last eclipse single din was 8v and it was great. we'll see, i hope the booster helps.

 

I was thinkin about the avn 5435 ... u happen to know the $ difference? You never mentioned how the audio quality of those cables are or which you went wtih. Is it running yet?
