rockford decks are terrible... i'd buy a jensen before I bought a rockford. the overall feel of the deck is low quality... all the buttons, the faceplate itself... it all feels very flimsy and cheap. The sound quality is also pretty poor... do yourself a big favor and totally forget about the rockford.

Alpine is next to the best in the business... can't go wrong with them... the cda-7894 has amber or green illumination... switchable. But I dont think you'll ever find a deck to "match" the interior lighting... they usually end up being a completly different shade of the color.

Kenwood is good too, but to me their decks seem to lack the quality of an alpine... plus the controls can be hard to navigate. The JVC Digifine 2.1 and 2.2 decks are sweet as well... (kd-sh55,kd-sh77, kd-sh99, kd-sh707, kd-sh909), you wouldnt expect a good product to come from them, but those decks are absolutley incredible... the deck itself weighs a good 5-6 pounds! Clarion also sounds nice, I just personally do not like the look of most of their decks.
