well...i believe that each deck has its own characteristics.
lame excuse ha ?
but i still think like that.
as for alpine and pioneer...both are good. but again you gotta test them and choose based on your sound preferences.
Alpine 7893 and 7894 only differs in the mp3 capability.
7895 doesnt have internal amps.
I just lost my 7864 last week.
I was thinking between pioneer 8400 and alpine 7894.
I choose 7894 eventually because the higher price of 8400 doesnt justify the added features/capability compared to 7894.
i thought about eclipse...very good product if you're really into sound, but it's kind of out of my reach for now.
