Xm Or Sirius?

[VolFan]

I am going to be purchasing a new head unit for my car.

I am going to purchase a deck with satellite radio capabilities.

What do you guys think, XM or Sirius?

Thanks ;)

I have both and strongly prefer XM. But its very subjective. I'm an old guy and like less popular music- jazz, blues and XM's Hear Music station, the music of Starbucks. Listened to that all the way across country a few months ago.

Sirius has an excellent Chill/electronic/trance channel tha I listen to at work.

to my customers, in the end, the differences comes down to this:

those who want hower stern want sirius,

most who want more sleection in general want xm

I have an Eclipse deck now, and I have had real good sucess with Eclipse.

I was just wanting some feedback on this deck.

I have been wanting to upgrade to satellite for some time now, and I bought the Alpine for that reason because Eclipse didn't offer satellite.

Eclipse now does so I was just wondering.

Not trying to hijack the thread, but whay are all these aftermarket units so UGLY? It's as if they are trying to make them as cheesy as possible so I won't buy them.

Here's what I'm seeking: A high powered HU (I dont want to use and external amp) that will drive my upgraded speakers and have a aux input for the iPod and be XM controlling. If I had my preference, it would b black- knobs and all.

I understand I might have to use a single din and a din pocket, which is bad enough, but I want a clean XM installation.

Anyone have a suggestion? No video screens, no flashing graphs, no pulsating lights- something that fits nicely into the interiors of the 850.

Thanks, and please resume the thread now.

Back on topic- I prefer XM, but that is just my personal opinion :)

one thing to point out:

there is no such thing as higher powered headunits, there is weak headunits, and weaker headunit lol pretty any of them, if you can get remotely close to 20-25 watts at some horrid thd, its a "powerful" headunit

for you needs, look no further than a nakamichi unit, www.nakamichi.com

Sirius for sure...I know this is all subjective but to me it seems like sirius had more of a selection for rock/rap/hiphop so thats why I liked it better. Just my .02 tho
