Well - There is something called as an impedance converter - which can convert the speaker out to Pre-Outs. I did the same with mine setup which had only 1 set of preouts.

Better than spending on *jugaad* i thought better upgrade the HU. This HU sounds really bad.bass distorts without much amplification. and the fronts feel like i dont even have fronts.

got a quote of 9.9k + local shipping .with its current price ($29.99)
discounts for numbers are more

will proceed after some reviews... else will settle for pio 6050UB

I clicked lot of unboxing pics out of excitement! But since they look exactly the same as the ones posted by you, I spared the overkill on TBHP members

I would be going to B&T for the install, most probably on Sat. Car is Getz.

The evil laugh sounds (or reads) more like a cow's laugh. The infection of Clarion 785 is so contagious that Doc is more excited than me!

Please order 5 units for me as well at that price! I shall keep one for my future cars and sell the other 4 at a price of $100 each to recover my total cost

I was wondering if I could drop in for an audition. I would love to see it getting installed. let me know if it's possible.

+1 for me as well

What better way to recover your money and make people buying this at 100$ happy

hmmmm - are u sure there is nothing wrong with your installation? If the install is bad then every HU will not make much of a difference.

Just found about this site on Techenclave .com looks good.Check it out 20North Online Shopping India - Buy Clarion DXZ785USB CD/MP3/WMA/ACC Receiver with CeNET Control, Time Alignment, 3-Way Crossover, Rear USB Port, Satellite Radio Ready : Electronics at Best Prices in India

karankapoor · 27th March 2009, 11:37

nice find yogi the prices looks quite good to me,but how good they are at quality and delivery.

nitrous · 27th March 2009, 12:41

They've copy-pasted reviews from amazon.
Please verify the authenticity of the site.

Invinsible · 27th March 2009, 12:53

I doubt on the quality of the product from this site. The Site doesn't look great or genuine to me. Even incase you order I don't see if they would replace it if there is any issue with it.
The one I got from Amazon comes with a USA / Canada warranty along with a warranty card. Though I know it's not gonna be of any use here.

abhinav.gupta88 · 27th March 2009, 13:19

I too feel its not a good site. Its appears fake to me.
The reviews are copied, the features are not known properly(Checked a Few HUs)

I got my HU from Smokin for 30k while in that site it is showing 32k+ for the same.

frankmehta · 28th March 2009, 17:46

just got back from nishantgandhi's installation (well, just the head unit)
i dont want to say much and would like nishant to do the honours, but id like to say that we have a winner on our hands!!! thumbs up!
