Default need head unit suggestions

Hi all, ive sourced all my sound gear and now i am in need of a headunit!

the gear i have already is

1 x 12" fusion power plant sub (1200W)
1 x powerplant monoblock (2000w)
1 x pair of 6.5" powerplant 3 way speakers (220w)

the sound gear i have is quite good so i also would like a decent headunit. what im looking for is:

-CD Player
-Clock
-Radio
-USB connectivity (in the rear, so i can connect a usb extension cord)
-compatible with the modifry wired DCI.

Also id like the headunit to power the door speakers if possible, as the fusion amp i have is massive and i cant think of places to fit another amp lol

My budget is about 250USD. ive previously used a pioneer headunit and i thought it was quite good. but alpine seems to be very popular from my searches on this forum, but i cant afford any of the nicer alpine units that have cd players in them.


also if i get a headunit from the states will the radio work in australia? im a bit of a noob when it comes to sound gear.

thanks guys

John

I have the regular pioneer version of this (DEH-6000ub), I liked it so much I put it in both of my vehicles, its easy to tune and pretty powerdful if you use it to power your door speakers, and I got mine for just under 200 shipped off ebay. good luck with your search, let me know if you have any questions.
