I'm putting a system in the Camry

[JaJay721]

I'm open for suggestions. I'm not sure on the headunit right now, but I've pretty much made up my mind on these components:

PPI PCX 480 (80RMS x 4)
Infinity Perfects 6.1 Components (6.5" Component Set)
Infinity Kappa 692.5i (6x9 2-way)

I'm going to do the headunit/multi-channel amp/components and rear fill before I do any subs. I plan to order these within the next week or so and I'm uncertain on the headunit as of right now. I'd like to hear your opinions or any information you'd like to put out... especially head unit recommendations. I'm partial to:
1. Pioneer - I like the layout and features. Not to fond of 2V preouts on $300+ units
2. Alpine - Nice units and features, but I've never liked the look of them. I like some of their newer ones with the blue faces.
3. Clarion - Good units, but lacking in features.
4. Eclipse - My personal favorite, but a bit on the expensive side.

I'm not planning on doing the subs now. I'll probably do them in the summer. I don't want to dish out the cash for electrical upgrades and another amp just yet. Any recommendations of what would sound good with this system would be appreciated. The Infinities have a high pitch so I was thinking of something that could get deep to counter and fill out the sound. Something that can get deep and sound good doing it can hurt the wallet though. I was thinking something by Orion.

There is rumer of a speaker called beamer or bimmer not (sure of the spelling) that play some really good mid bass. I'll post tommorrow to let you know how good they sound.

I already purchased the speakers/amp above, but I can replace/return them no problems if anyone has any other suggestions.

I'm currently leaning toward this head unit, although it is a bit more than I was willing to spend. I like that it is loaded with features, has a color display and when it's sitting off in my car, it won't look like something someone would want to steal.
Pioneer DEH-P860MP

I like this one for cheap 4v and I like the look of the unit which I don't usually like for Alpines. I also like that I don't have to flip down the face plate to change CDs. This would be more than enough for my needs and is catching my eye.
Alpine CDA9287

I like this Clarion unit. I love it's look and the blue on black display. I don't think I like the cheaper Clarions and the more expensive ones are a bit more than I'm looking for.
Clarion DXZ745MP

I like the sleekness of this headunit, I am trying to stay away from flashy. I don't want it to look like something good to steal. This is very basic looking, almost stock... but has the Nak badge.
Nakamichi CD40Z

I'm not a fan of the new look for the Eclipse units, but I like their older line.

My pick would be the Clarion
dual 24 bit =)

Thank you for the reply. I had a head unit with a similar face as this and it was sometimes hard to read in direct sunlight. I'm afraid this unit may have the same problem, but I'm not sure. This is one of the better quality units that I choose and it is definately appealing. The Alpine will do, but with the system I'm planning to build I don't really want it to be run of a head unit of that standard. The Pioneer is a bit pricey for what you're getting and I know I'm just paying for a color screen. The Nak is good as well, but expensive for what you get. The Clarion seems to be a good buy, I'm just afraid about the sunlight issue. Anyone have experience with this display in their own car?

I think the next deck I will buy would be a Nakamichi. I had a Nakamichi home stereo reciever and it sounded awsome. I never heard a nakamichi deck before, but from what I read, its like day and night. Big sound difference over other head units. I really want to hear them for myself but no stereo shop carries them.

Some of the older alpines had glare problems (cda 7894). I have the cda 7892 and its not bad at all.

I previously owned a Pioneer FH-P4000 in my Eclipse. It was a good unit when I got it and I enjoyed the tuning/controlls of it. It was a double din so the layout was different, but I enjoyed it's quality. My girlfriend runs a Premier in her car with her system.

Well to make a long story short, I choose to go with the Premier. I ordered it today. Should have it shortly. I picked up the Perfects, Kappas and PPI amp today and am awaiting the head unit now.
