What is the best Dvd/Tv/Cd/Tuner out of all of these units?

Kenwood KVT-910DVD
Alpine CVA-1003
Alpine CVA-1006
Pioneer AVH-P7490DVD
Pioneer AVH-P7480DVD
Clarion VRX925VD

 

all of them are good , i have the kenwood and it is realy nice with alot of adjustments its all a matter of what features u like

 

clarion

 

I have heard that the clarion is excellent but i have never actually played with it. What are some features that one has that the other doesnt that are a plus??

 

over the kenwood it has an mp3 player, however no tv tuner. I would go with the kenwood kvt-911dvd. It's the best on the market in my opinion, and if you want you can add an mp3 player but the kenwood plays vcd's, dvds, am/fm radio, cd-r's, regular cd's, and it has a tv tuner! If you can afford it then its the way to go!

 

You didn't list an Alpine IVA-C801 ... not looking for an in-dash cd-player too?

Unless you're trying to save money, stay away from the 1006.

 

Ive heard tons of great compliments on the Clarion unit... if it were me buying, id go for it.

oh ya, the kenwood also has one of the most amazing built in equalizers, will make your system sound 100 times better! It also has built in x-overs!

 

vrx925vd
touch screen, mp3 playback, full 7" screen, and good visual interface with plenty of eye candy

most screens are 6.5" and the visual interface is boring and a total waste of the lcd

 

Out of all the ones we've gone through, Clarion is leading the pack. I love them, bright 7" inch screen, very easy to clean off as well. One of the great "little" features about this unit is that when it is recessed or the screen is not displayed, there is still a display to show you what cd track # or radio station is playing. ALL the other units don't have any sort of display when the screen is not out.

A little feature that puts Clarion ahead of the pack in my books.

The Alpine is great when combined with other units, but by itself, it dosn't do much.

The AI-NET capability makes it and extremely versitle media controller with exceptional signal-noise and other functions.

If you plan on spending an additional few grand on top of the primary brain, then its a great unit. (You'll need a DVD player, navigation unit, xm radio module, tv radio module, mobile mayday, DSP unit, etc). They work great together.

If you're sticking to only one or two components, the Clarion or Kenwood are excellent buys.

Kenwood !

 

Yeah, the Alpine stuff is really nice, but so is the other stuff. The big attraction of Alpine is the Ai-Net interfacing. If you aren't going all-Alpine it has no great advantage.
