Need an MP3 deck...

[craig]

I am looking for a new deck with MP3 capabilities and good EQ options. I would prefer something with at least 3-band parametric. I had a Kenwood X569 in my old Corrado, which was good, but I'm ready for something different. I had an Eclipse prior to that, and I will never own an Eclipse deck again... I was looking at maybe something from Alpine or the Pioneer Premier series (I hear they have 15-band EQs?-whats that about??). I am planning on running one amp to power a good set of components(CDT maybe) in the front and just keep the stockers in the rear(or take them out completely). No subs anymore for me.

BTW price range ~$200-$300 if possible
thanks

That's a tall order for a $2-300 price range... well I guess for a 3band not really, but I wouldn't really consider a 3-band parametric "good EQ options"

Out of curiosity why the anti-eclipse animosity?

Well I've just seen a lot of decks with crappy Bass/Treble graphic Eqs and I don't want that. My Eclipse deck was always skipping, had terrible AM/FM reception(not that I even listen to the radio, but I expected a little more for the all-mighty eclipse I had heard so much about..), and finally crapped out on me after a year and a half.

I know I say $200, but I'll probably end up spending $350, thats the way things seem to snowball with me... (braindead
