Default Advice for new HU

Hi guys,
My Harman Kardon HU betrayed me, it's time to repalce him with something better.
Now, my configuration is: PBR300X2 ampli and Infinity Kappa 62.11I speakers.
What you advice for this setup?
I have seen a very nice HU, the AQ-MP-5BT-H but i don't know if is appropriate for my setup.
Thanks to all those who want to help

Giuseppe

In reality, almost any car stereo will work. Some have more bells and whistles than others, but whatever you do get one with preouts, a USB port and bluetooth capability. You will need some kind of mount for the head unit, and a hand control module of some type to retain use of your stock hand controls. There are a couple of sources, but my advice is to check out the Biketronics retro radio kit. It will have anything you need with it, they have great customer service, and if it ever breaks they will fix it or give you a new one for free.. I myself have the kit, and when I got it I was using a Sony DSX310, worked fine. Changed that Sony out for another Sony MEX, but it turned out the old module didn't work with it. I spoke to Bill at Biketronics, and even though he had no obligation to he exchanged the old one for free. A less scrupulous vendor would have made me buy another. Kinda pricey though. http://biketronics.com/categories/Re...-Install-Kits/ As far as the Aquatic head unit, I don't know anyone that has one. There's several threads about them, see for yourself. https://www.google.com/webhp?sourcei...w.hdforums.com

x2 for the BT install kit. loved mine.

as far as the new hu i went with a pioneer 9600. dual usb ports (one for phone, one for stick), bt, user-defined colors, etc etc. all the bells and whistles. it's a great unit.
