Eclipse AVN 2454. Good match for system? Any thoughts?
Hi CL,
I was planning on redoing my setup for my audio. I plan on getting two 12" Alpine Type R subs, and match it up with an Alpine or a Hi-Fonics amp.
However, I heard that all your parts have to be matched up for the system to produce quality sound; I guess everything needs to integrate properly. I was thinking about using the Eclipse AVN 2454 for my head-unit. Do you think this headunit has enough power/quality to support that system setup, or do I need to get a stronger head-unit/GPS system?
Any opinions appreciated. Thx!

If your looking for sq (quality ), not spl (loudness), then alpine system would be perfectly suitable. If your set on alpine... which is a very good choice, id recommend gettin the alpine amp-with the alpine head unit you can control damn near everthing, and alpine provides that. Eclipse is great as well; however, to my knowledge, eclipse has yet to fix their volume issues on their decks.
No matter what, you'll hear bass, treble, mids, and highs, allthough choosing the right setup will show how much water's held.
Alpine will do you right.
"However, I heard that all your parts have to be matched up for the system to produce quality sound"
--this isnt true, allthough helps in certian situations--as your case shows above (alpine amp and deck). Good luck.
peace,
Matt

the eclipse 2454 is a great HU. I currently have it in my SC w/ 5.25 Focal Polyglass V2's all the way around. (Component in front and Coax in the rear) Matched those up with a 10W7 and the Eclipse unit more than handles them. I've been using eclipse since I started with car audio and I'm a little biased. I am however switching up to the 5435 because the 2454 doesn't play DVD-R's which is like....90% of my movie collection. I spend enough time in the car to where I would want to watch some of the movies I have burned as opposed to the ones I purchased.
Other than that the 2454 is a great HU
Forgive the gap at the bottom, I still need to make a cover for it.

not too sure about alpine. yes it does make it nice and clean, and doesn't block your climate controls with the flip out. It's Touch screen as well. Another nice thing about the Eclipse unit is that it's everything in one. CD slot that reads mp3s, DVD slot that reads DVDs and does NAV. No need for external units, and no brain to hide somewhere.
It does everything that I need it to do...except play DVD-Rs...but that's why I'm gonna go with the 5435
