What’s the best head unit for a 370z

IMO a head unit is all about functionality. Also our cars are don't really isolate the outside noise that well where sound quality of a system would be so important.

I am very happy with my 250 dollar Chinese Joying head unit. While it's far from perfect it can do more then any other big name system out there.

Just wanted to add:

The time alignment feature on my cheapo pioneer has made a WORLD of difference in the sound simply by spending about 5 minutes making adjustments.

Basically it's like going from public transportation to a Bugatti!

I actually had a lot of regrets going with the pioneer and hertz hsk's, until now!

The pioneer decks come with some amazing features that folks don't realize... the processing features you mention are one of them! Another feature that attracted me in particular was the "Network mode" that allows you to use the 4 channels of the internal amp to run your front components active. Perfect for our cars with no rears and gets me a little more juice to the speakers.

Yeah it truly just made an unbelievable difference. Finally the best sounding system I've owned among several different cars, I spent about maybe 5 minutes in the TA section, just unbelievable! Now get to mess around with the EQ more and see how much more abuse they can take

Cannot even imagine how good others running better than Hertz HSK165's sound bi amped... but I've got the stereo integrity stuff on my list now!

I saw 5star car audio on youtube is indicating the new Kenwoods for 2018 will be all the rage apparently, my only gripe with the pioneer is that it seems like I have to STAB the screen to get it to respond at times, and it just seems slow to react, but, it was $210...

I'm in agreement with you. Either a droid head unit or something with mirroring would give a lot more functionality.
