$300 alpines are proly the same as $300 pioneers...brand preference is a hard habit to break. i dont have the experience or the exposure to back up my decisions, i like sound on a budget...
i have never had anything buts subs GTS on me though...you have really had HU's break?

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.

IMO Alpine kick ass. I own a 3 disc deck/changer and installed it in my dad's car and all I can says is "My dad loves it so much". I own a Clarion VRX815 and it plays good too. Some people says clarion suck but it gives me what I'm looking for a deck. Go with Alpine first. :boink:
