Pioneer P1Y retails for around $780, Its their best qaulity HU designed for SQL without all the fancy flashy buttons on the DEH-9650MP and so forth.
if you want one just give me a bell... |

Personally for that money i would either go Alpine (yes thats right i said Alpine) Pioneer or JVC basically you want to look for something that has the 4V or 2X Preouts atleast, sub,bass,treble control etc etc. MP3 playback WMA's etc etc. Easy to use interface and a remote  Makes it a s**t easier, having a remote.
There are Alpine HU's out there for $599 which are not the cream of the crop but they are still very high quality.
Shop around a bit and then make your decision, good luck. |

Rockford Fosgate HU's are hard to go past. The RFX9420 is a beautiful unit. RRP in Australia is around $1500, although it can be had from the US, landed near your price range.
4x 8V Preouts, 3 or 4 inputs and also switches composite video. Has 'rear seat' control, which allows you to play a different source, and adjust the volume for a seperate amp (ie, so someone in the back seat can listen/watch a DVD totally separate from the driver who is listening to doof doof)
It is enclosed in a copper chassis for best electrical performance. It is a very simple, easy to read face.. quite stylish. It doesnt have any of the s**t you find on the Jap units.. flashy lights that mean nothing, etc.
I'm running the previous, equivalent model, the RFX9400 and its simply amazing quality! |

| for that price range could quite easily get a good deck from alpine or pioneer, even some kenwood models. For that money et a deck that has at least 5v preouts and 3 of them, nothin better than having sub control. Also independent EQ's and all ya norms, MP3, WMA, SP-Level, etc etc etc. Shop around till ya find somethin ya like |

| i agree with joolz, go jvc. They are good value for money and have features that you pay s**t loads more for in other brands esp PIONEER SONY and ALPINE. if you can stretch your budget to around 900 get the jvc unit that plays dvd aswell as mp3 etc, its s**t hot. |

Pioneer or dare I say alpine......not JVC, not sony. The last two tend to aim for power, not sound quality. My 8540 (pioneer) sounds great, has 3x6.5V outputs and a cool two level effect. You might be able to pick one up for 700-800 because they're discontinued.
My say.......pioneer, definately. But alpine is good too. |
