I'm pretty sure every major car audio manufacturer has a deck with those specifications...

You could go to a site like http://www.crutchfield.com/S-u...wm=tn to find one that meets your needs & budget....

if youre looking for really high quality with good controls,get a higher end Eclipse or Alpine head unit. Theyve always done me good and they are awesome units

if you're looking for a very flexible EQ skip the head unit EQ and go for a seperate EQ....1/3 octave EQ or something along those lines like the 701. active crossover, 1/3 octave EQ and a parametric EQ....this pretty much does everything.

and you get time-correction....unless your path lengths are equal up front time correction will be your best friend. it makes an amazing difference in the front stage

that one and this one http://www.mcintoshlabs.com/mc...MX406

i don't speak from experience but the DAC's in this deck are supposed to be some of the best out there....burr browns from texas instruments. nor do I have an ear trained enough to tell the difference in a DAC (at least I don't think I do). but if you're interested in the best around these 2 will fit the bill.

now that I think about it though also look at the clarion drz line....just a tad cheaper but get excellent reviews.

If you're serious about car audio, i would recommend getting Serius Sattelite radio. they'll boost your vtec up a notch
