Default So I finally picked up a new HU

Got a hold of a brand new from '04 Eclipse CD8454. Damn it's a fucking nice unit, so happy to have a new one since the old one was broken in a theft attempt. And it plays mp3s so I'm finally in the ranks of the new millenium. I definitely overpaid, but they're the only eclipse dealer in town and this unit is impossible to find nowadays.

I installed an 8455 with Sirius and an Ipod. Badass, in a word.

Yeah I think the 8455 is nice functionally but I'm not feeling the new look of the eclipses. A lot less reserved then in the past. It's basically an 8454 with some upgrades in sound field adjustment, which I probably won't need. The memory stick thing seems like it might be cool though.

You think that when you look at the pictures, but trust me, seeing them in person will change that somewhat, and looking at them in person for a couple days they really grow on you. I definitely wanted to sell my 8053 for one after I installed the 8455.
