The JVC and Pioneer incidents were'nt just your luck. I used to work for a Pioneer and JVC dealer and saw them go bad all the time.

ok, i think im gonna stick with alpine, because well, i trust what iceman says.. since its his ... job. im not lookin to spend 1500 ona head unit.. under 4 or 500 would be nice, any suggestions?
Thats a great budget to get something hi end from Alpine. Im assuming you want a CD deck right? Look into the CDA 7893, CDA 7894, or CDA 7895 depending on your needs.
The 7895 required an external amp, the 7893 looks almost identical in the silver finish but isnt MP3 capable, the 7894 is MP3 capable. I just sold a CDA 7893 for $309. Not sure if we have any 7894s in, but we should.
