Review written by TP from Traverse, MI

I have owned this HU for about 6 months, and it has run strong the entire time. Excellent sound quality and great price. Would recommend as a very good starter HU.

Review written by Michael from Grasonville, MD

I love this head unit. Sounds fantastic, easy to work, plays cd's that skip in my other players! Easy to hook up with color coordinated wires and FREE factory wire harness included in the deal. There is nothing bad I can say about this unit. I couldn't be happier with this purchase. Compares very favorably to other units that cost a lot more.

I bought this head unit to get me by while i was building my truck and well to tell the truth i sold it quick to a friend he heard it and liked the way it sounded so just up and bought it from me it is easy to use and has excellent sound quality for the price cant go wrong

Review written by brian from san antonio, TX

This is a quality unit for a good price. I needed something simple and basic, and this looks good and works well. The feel is solid and the sound is good. The dark silver color is a near match to the color of the car. As the listing says, there is no manual, and so far I have not been able to locate one from Eclipse's website or online. So I am not sure how to work the security CD feature yet, but I can figure it out if I really want.

Overall I really like this product and wish I had a better system to hook it up to. Right now it is just connected to some low end speakers with no amp. But it sounds good and you can tell it is better audio than what you'd get for the same price at Wal-Mart.

I had a problem with my amp in a Toyota Avalon and replaced a factory radio with this one and it has worked perfectly. Even with no exterior pre amp the unit power is perfect!

Review written by Ronald from Schertz, TX

This system works and sounds just as good as the expensive systems

Review written by tony from stoughton, WI

This is a decent deck, not the best. But for the price you can't beat it, i would like something a little nicer but i needed a deck and didn't have much money at the time and i don't see a need to replace it because it does the job.

Review written by Derek from Los Gatos, CA

Had this deck for 8 months now. Picked it up new and it was discounted because SE had a lot of em with no instruction manual.

Pros: Great audio quality for the price-range. Pushes the stock speakers well. Looks clean; not like an amusement park in the middle of your car/truck.

Cons: After a few months the backlighting (parking/headlights on) started flashing. AUX in is faulty and shorts out portable music player.

The reason I purchased this was so I could hook up my flash mp3 player. I tried a different player and different rca interconnects and the problem persisted where the player would get shorted out after some static. It has to be the deck. Back to making mp3 discs...

The flashing backlighting doesn't affect me since I installed it in my work truck and I'm hardly out after the sun goes down. If it were in my personal I would disco the wire and fly the deck in the dark. Not cool.

Wouldn't recommend this deck to a friend, but it's been a good value after getting to grips with making mp3 cd's again

I'm an experienced DIY stereo guy for the record.

Cheers

amazing deal for da cash! the great thing is that sonic electronix will send every thing u need 2 hook this system up 2 ur car which is freaking amazing! it also has plenty of inputs so if ur lookin 2 hook up subs or other component speakers, it will make it easy. definitely my first choice!

Review written by Pedro from Winter Haven, FL

For the price its hard to beat, I'm a Pioneer fan but budget was tight, but I'm so pleased that now that I can buy another unit I will keep this one

Review written by Brian from Monroeville, OH

I purchased this stereo from Sonic due to their recommendation and I'm glad I did! This stereo rocks and doesn't skip while playing your CD's. The installation is easy, since the installation package that Sonic sends with it. This stereo is a high dollar value at low cost price!

Review written by Lyndon from Dothan, AL

I don't think you could buy a better CD/MP3/Radio for the price. It sounds great and is easy to use. The only problem I have with it is the blue LCD display background lightens from the normal driver's perspective. This is only an aesthetic complaint as you can still see the display fine. It is only noticeable at night.

Review written by Bruce from Auburn, NY

This product was a breeze to install even without the instructions. Also the controlls are more intuitive than the factory radio in my Focus. You can get a factory manual download for Eclipse CD 3414 which is almost identical at the Eclipse web site from their tech dept.I've only owned the product for a month so can't comment on "durability".

Review written by powerjam from Gardiner, NY

I had in mind one radio (Kenwood)which Sonic Electronix carried and a box pops up; For the same price, you may want to consider this one (Eclipse CD3414G). What a novel idea and what a deal! Went with the alternative recommendation which had many more FAB's (Features, advantages and benefits) and a better warranty for the same price. Unbelievable! Shipping was faster than they predicted! Thank you for a great experience!

Review written by hawkeye from spring,texas

this unit has great sound and is very user friendly, but it did not come with a owners manual. great value for the money.

Review written by Alkhatibr from Las Cruces,NM, 88001

I was very impressed about the sound quality I got from this unit...... it's beyond my expectation!! I am very pleased to have it, it's much better than $200.00 car stereo I have seen in the past. Very stylish! Installation is a piece of cake even though there is NO manual. It took me 30 minutes to install the whole unit and enjoy listening to my favorite music!!

Review written by Mike from Grasonville, MD

I just recently purchase a the head unit, and I had to let you guys know how happy I am with this puchase. This was a great buy for the price. I absolutly love it. No problem to operate, great sound quality, and a breeze to install with the FREE install kit and wiring harness. But what has really impressed me with this unit is the fact that it plays cd's that skip in most any other player I've tried to play them in. One old one by Led Zeppelin that is rare and live which was burned by a friend for me that I thought I'd never get to listen to uninterrupted again. It won't even play in my son's $200 Pioneer head unit, but plays in my $75 unit bought from you guys!! HA!!

Review written by coaltrain from pensacola, Florida

I have this unit in my truck, I bought it from here. it is very high quality. sound is great. aux inputs work great for ipod. can NOT be beat for the price

Review written by Derek from Los Gatos, CA

Swapped this deck in my Ford F-150 work truck as a cheap way to get digital quality (CD/Aux-In) output to the speakers. Features are basic. Deck looks very clean with no motorized face to worry about breaking. Buttons and knobs all have great feel for such an inexpensive deck.

I thought I was going to get some new speakers to go with this thing, but after hearing the stock speakers (no amp, hu power only) I'm going to have to pass. It sounds terrific. And even if it gets stolen or I get fired I'm only out a benjamin and some time to solder the harness.

Nothing but good things to say about Sonic Electronix.

Review written by Matt from Frederick, MD

Great product....incredible sound. The only downside is it doesn't have a low, mid, and high EQ. Only a bass and treble adjustment. But just increasing the bass by one will make quite a difference. The product is definitely better than most stereos for this price, but I was very disappointed when I received it. It came in a box with the stereo, parts, screws, and wires. No instructions whatsoever. You basically have to hardwire everything to the harness that you have to buy. The product itself is amazing.

Review written by Christian from Tucson, AZ

I am very impressed with this stereo... especially for the cost. Right now, I am running it through stock speakers, but it sounds much better than the Aiwa that I replaced. Everything sounds great and it is pretty easy to use.

For this price you CANNOT beat it! It's ECLIPSE!
