I'm looking into buying a deck. I wanna know which decks have the amber light that would match the dash of an FC. I've seen a couple Alpine decks that do.

Also, looking for pretty good sound quality, but not too expensive, but that's wut everyone wants, eh?

 

Kenwoods have them. You have an option between green and amber.

Theyre good units too.

Get the excelon line if you can afford it.

 

Yep, Alpine and Kenwood have amber lighting options, as does Nakamichi.

 

im also looking for a sorta stock looking head unit and i ran into clarion pro audio DXZ835MP and DXZ735MP. the display changes colors to any color you want. check them out on the clarion website. they have a little movie to show the colors it changes.

 

Ive got a Kenwood Excelon in my Blazer, and its got a multiple color LCD display. Nowhere near stock colors. Maybe the low end Excelons do, but all the ones I *saw* were multi color LCDs or blue.

 

I've got an older excelon in my 7, KDC-X911, and it lets you select which color lighting you want to use. Great Head Unit.

 

There are quite a few head units that let you select color. I think some of the higher end Sonys and Pioneers let you choose like 20 colors or so. I have an Alpine and I love it, though.

 

A lot of alpines have the switchable green and amber colors. Also the sony mp70 has 10 different colors to choose from, including amber. It is a good looking and good sounding radio.

Alpine CDA something.. plays mp3 Cd's and Turns Amber.. Awsome Head unit. $300 bucks.

 

I have that unit and it matchs the stock gauges perfectly. Ill take some pix soon it matchs my defi boost gauge too.

 

Alpine CDA-7894 (just discontinued about 2-3 months ago) and Defi gauges. mp3, XM, clean sound, really nice head unit

 

Nakamichi (CD-35z, etc.) makes some that are nice and stock looking, and can be ordered (not switchable) with an amber display.

But I don't believe Nakamichi has mp3 players with thier head units. I may be wrong....otherwise I would buy one.

 

Hey FC3PO,

so for the long delay in replying your speaker question. Have been ******* busy.

Do you still need advice?
I want to ask b4 replying not to write uselessly.
If I will miss that reply here, better contact me by email again.

Best wishes,
Tobias

 

Try putting in a set of white face blue/green indiglos, (they are all over Ebay) and match em up with any of Pioneer's blue face decks- perfect match at night, and not too shabby by day, the white lettering matches the gauges.

 

My old eclipse head unit went haywire & had to be replaced. I chose an MP3-capable Alpine head unit with the orange lighting, the face can be blacked-out when buttons are not touched. It is not distracting at night. I love it!
