What should I do? (HU's) - Honda Prelude Forum

Blazin Azn · 05-08-2001, 11:31 PM

Here's my situation, I've got a 5th Gen Prelude and I'm looking to throw a little system into it. I've picked out my subs, and have an idea for an amp, but I'm a little torn between which HU I want.

The two I am looking at are the Premier DEH-730R or the Nakamichi CD-45Z. I am also going to upgrade the front speakers, but that won't be for a while. I don't know much about HU's but how do these two stack up. I want to be able to control the subwoofer volume through the HU and I'm pretty sure the Nak doesn't do that, but do you think that should be my reason for going with the Premier? I also have heard that the Nak is probably one of the best sounding HU's out there. Let me know what you guys think.

thanks

GO with the nakamichi. not as flashy as the pioneer, but the sound delievered from it is sweet

The Nak 45Z is the next HU I am going to get. It may not have the blinking lighs like some other companies but that is not what I am spending my money on!

the sound quality of the nak is far superior

I agree with the Nakamichi CD45z decision. This is ONE AWESOME HEAD UNIT! I love the sound ... good features... and it looks like stock!

Don't let the sub control sway you to the pioneer. The Nak is far superior in sound quality and looks 100 times better in the 5th gen IMHO. Plus it doesn't have a million buttons, lights and other do-dads that attract theives.

The only HU I've ever listened to that sounded better was my Sony ES C90 running through my soundstream reference amp.
