Problem w/ my CD player !
Hi all,
My prelude98 cd player display error message something like a " PEO" . It rejects & won't play any CD. I am thinking of buying an new original factory to replace, but it's costly at the dealer around $400. To repair, it also costs around $200. Do you suggest to buy an after market type of cd player like Alpine line for $400-$500 ? Then it would be a better choice while I still keep the original for a spare if I need to sale the car some days !
The original Prelude98's cd player has the "Acoustic Feed Back System" which is sound so great in the car atmosphere. How is the after market cd player can achieve that factory sound? I think the Acoustic Feedback sound only built in the original prelude cd receiver unit
I really appreciate your input & feedback.

Just get an aftermarket one. Even the cheap ones are better then the stock ones interms of power output. Don't worry about the acoustic feedback thingy. I put a pioneer on mine and you can really tell the difference in the power from the head-unit. Preludes have pretty decent 6x9 in the rears that can take the bass, so don't worry about the whole acoustic feedback thing.
If you got some flow, get some decent componets in the front. Boston Acoustic or MB's should help. Would sound a lot better if you got an amp for it, but..... The stock speakers are pretty decent.
But yea, get an after market system. WAY better. looks cooler. only thing.... attracks the attention of thieves. Good luck.
Oh, I do installations and did both mine and my brother's prelude. Very easy to install.

Thanks for your input man !
It's sound so positive about all of the aftermarket units from most of you guys feedback. Some units like the Alpine CDA-7998/9813 or Sony CDX-MP70 would be the top choice . If the Alpine itself have more power/watts than the Honda & it sound better than the original, then what else can I say !!! It feel so great
. I can't wait , & now ready for a surf for the best unit on the web.

Dude,
Just a warning..... All CD Players get hot after an hour or two of use. Personally if you go with a cheap CD player, don't get an ALpine because they heat up really fast. The High end ones are good. If you really want Bang for Buck, go get an Eclipse. Those are by far the best for the price you pay. Sound quality etc... don't waste your time on Alpine or Sony.
Good luck. Do a search for Eclipse. If you are in Houston I can direct you to a couple of places. Good luck.
