I actually have to write a paper on three different head units, and I really need to know how the skip protection is in them, simply because I can't find them anywhere else. I don't really have a lot of expertise in car audio wiring/installation/etc. Also, the head unit will be going into a 2005 TJ. (I have the factory head unit in it now, and it's temperamental on good days) The models go as follows:

JVC KDHDR20 (50W x $ MOSFET Ipod/Satellite Ready In-Dash CD deck w/HD radio tuner)

Insignia NS-C4113(40W x 4 In-Dash CD deck with MP3 playback and detachable faceplate)

Alpine CDA-105(50W x 4 Ipod/Satellite Ready)

I have already tried to look up reviews and the like in the reviews section, but nothing that I can really use for something that will be graded on. Any kind of information that I can gain would be awesome. Thanks!

I just put that CDA 105 (as an upgrade) in my evo...nice unit...hasn't skipped yet...has great sound quality even with XM.

i was looking at the Alpine...my husband swears by them and I think that's what Santa is going to bring me.
