    these are basically units that help make a surround sound experience when you are watching videos in the car or they are for stock systems where people want better sound quality without replacing the stock headunit. What are you looking for?

    without changing the factory headunit... , maybe..i avoid Eclipse DCU 105 and Alpine PXA H701 Multimedia manager from the list.. because it deals with the car DVD and multimedia.. I am not into videos now.. only music..

    ok so you are trying to not change your factory headunit and improve sound quality.. from what you posted.. i would go with the JL Audio. This sounds like something JL would do very well at.
