I'd go with the Clarion because it has a 24 bits DAC and built in x-overs.

All three are good radio, pick the one that fits best your tastes and requirement.

clarion doesn't have more than 3 band EQ , I might exchange it somebody convince me not to :(
 
A 3 band eq will satisfy most consumers' needs. What are your expectation regarding the sound quality of your system?

I have a 7 bands and 5 or even 3 band would probably do the trick for me

well i would like control all low, mid, high range. with the clarion i feel that i have no control what so ever of the subwoofer except for the volume and frequencies which are very limited = 50hz , 80hz, 120 hz. And when you play with the bass volume you are also changing the bass in the speakers , which i don't want.
 
I don't know if this pioneer is the same but I have the pioneer deh-p7700mp and the bass control are seperate for subwoofer and speaker ! So i've cut all the bass in my speaker to let it go the my type R ... my choice would have been the pioneer ! But the clarion seem nice too !

the clarion is very limited in options, many tells me that the simplier the HU the higher the quality? anybody knows about who has the best DAC technologies?
 
In the three HU you listed, Clarion definitively has the best DAC.

If you want real control you might be interested in buying an external EQ. It can be found on ebay from 50$ to 500$ for the audiocontrol ones.
The down side to it, is that you'd need need RCA that'd go from the source to the eq, then to the amps. One my components in the preamp line is more likely to cause noise trouble.

I'd stick with the Clarion, if you want mroe control get an external EQ.
 
I'm still confused :S , i'll adjust the amps tomorrow and the crossovers.
see if everything goes smoother
 
well i'm gonna go with the crowd also, I would recommend the Clarion over the others, although the Pioneer does look good
 
J'ai le 7800, et pour votre information, il possede un DAC 24 bits Burr Brown et un EQ 16 bands ainsi que des cross over internes... alors je ne vois pas en quoi le Clarion est meilleur... Meme son look est assez depasse.
