I'd get the Alpine, but it's a little over $300 on ebay..... That's just my opinion though.....

250 USD??

PANASONIC CQ-DF802U is a great deck for that price... its touch screen .... it retails for about 450, but go to a local dealer and they'll give it to u for 300 (250 if u know the owner). luv my deck ..... cheap and i don't have to take out no face no more....

yeah, the Alpine is the best of the bunch... if you cannot afford it, go with the Clarion... if you can find a dealer anymore.

The thing with clarion is their not as high profile as alpine. Maybe less likely to be stolen but then again some people will take anything. Even though mine is old it works great. Only complaint is the changer is slower than i would like.

true, but clarion's sound quality is top notch. in that department the can be compared to alpine and they can hold their own.
