Default Which HU??

Im looking at 2 HUs I cant decide which one to get

Ok, Contender One- Alpine CDA-9857
Heres the product info from crutchfield...

Ok, Contender Two- Pioneer DEH-P7800MP

I can get the Pioneer for $315 Shipped, and I can get the Alpine for $270 shipped. Both come with the install equipment.

Its kinda a toss up......have heard you gota crank alpine's rca outputs to get volume....have heard that something in the pioneer boards can go bad easy.....I cant remember. I have the the p80mphttp://www.crutchfield.com/S-GLZwkm2...;s=0&cc=01for 2 years or so and havent had any problems at all with it. Dont purchase either of these till I get back with you.....I might be able to get you a deal on one of these.

The Pioneer has more EQ'ing available on it. I would lean towards that one, but it very much depends on how much you like to mess with things.

I have the 7800 and couldnt be happier! The alpine has nowhere near the tuning and the color screen is bad azz! You can add your own color pictures and videos to you display.I have a picture of my daughter and wife on my display. They love it.

You know whats funny? I was looking at both of those myself. lol. Well, I am leaning towards the Pioneer more. But I have to wait for money. The pioneer has great reviews... yes, I read every review in the Pioneer and the Alpine... the Pioneer seems much better. So, get the Pioneer. lol. Good luck!
