Eclipse CD5030

In the car audio industry, Eclipse has always been recognized as a company that makes products of the highest quality. The Eclipse CD5030 is no exception and proves to be a well manufactured in-dash stereo, with all the quality that one can expect. This incredible stereo features built-in Bluetooth, which will allow the driver (or passenger) to be able to talk hands free and use the car speakers to hear the party on the other end of the call. There is an included microphone that connects to the rear of the unit that captures the voice of the speaker. The result is true hands-free talking. Looking on the back of the unit, a USB cable can be found. This is most commonly used to connect an iPod to the car stereo for full control, charging, and control of the iPod. Along with the traditional CD player, this in-dash receiver proves to have plenty of audio playback options.

In addition to the Bluetooth and the iPod features on the unit, the receiver also boasts some impressive internal circuitry. The rear RCA preamp outputs are all 5 volts, which will provide the cleanest and clearest signal transfer available on today’s head units. There are also 3 sets of RCA outputs, which will enable you to connect your front speakers, rear speakers, as well as a subwoofer. If you are still planning on using the standard speaker wire, the on-board amplifier will produce about 25 watts RMS. That is plenty of power for some standard speakers, and more power than what most of the other aftermarket headunits will produce. As with many of the eclipse stereos, the have a standard OEM feel and look. The display is bright, clear, and easy to read. For the price that you will find at Sonic Electronix, this is the best deal out there!
