Default Your opinions on these three DD HU (not very popular ones)

I found all three units for at or under $300. Just looking to see some opinions, pros/cons for the units. Anyone have experience with them? Search didnt bring up much. I dont really need navigation (and prob wont ever need it) so thats not really an issue. Just looking to have a DD touchscreen to play music.

If your going to run a external amp then the H.U amp wont matter, but that's when the preamp volts need to be good. If your just replacing H.U then look for more amps, i forget that the touchscreen DD dont seem to put out the RMS watts like the DIN models? so 22 RMS is alright, IMO i would get the best you can afford as the H.U is the heart of the system. I like the kenwood 8120 but i like Nav? and all the features. But it seems to me you just want to have a DD touchscreen to have one? so any of those will do.


Nevermind didnt realize you already had numerous threads similiar to this already.

^ Yeah, it's basically the exact same question asked in a different way over and over. Dude, just pic a head unit already! I really appreciate you trying to do your homework and all, but make a decision. Better yet, visit a reputable shop where you live and tell them exactly what features you are looking for and what your budget is.
