I've been looking at a kenwood 979 or 879.
Is there another HU that has the red illumination and if so which ones and what are the opinions of kenwood.
A friend of mine says it is one of the best HU made!

OPINIONS?!?!?!?!?!?!

you could be like me.... turn a perfectly good green Pioneer headunit to RED

scroll down and check mine out, its Sony

this was a double post... however, ill cover myself up...

Some Alpine units have red lightning witchable form blue usually, I had a Alpine with it before and Red matched great, they call it Amber.

Also some Clarion units have the multi color funtion, can change the illumintion from 200+ colors, betting theres a red or 2 in there.

if u dont mind the combination of red and blue get an eclipse
hands down u will not find a better sounding deck ( i mean it!!!)
if not sony over kenwood i would say

humm, I disagree, not much of a Sony fan at all for car audio, there not a contender at all for competition, they really don't make anything for the high end products, and have heard many Sony amps bite the dust.

Sony in my house, different story, different topic.

im referring to HU'* only because that'* your question. Like i said, hands down get an eclipse, i have been complimented on mine by all my friends and even complete strangers in parking lots, if you want a head unit with high volt pre outs and amazing clarity get an eclipse you wont be dissapoionted .
