ALPINE CDE-123

[kwag415]

I was currently looking at a new H/U the ALPINE CDE-123. From what I can see its a pretty nice H/U... Any one know any thing about it? it would be my first Alpine deck also, I hear they make fantastic audio products. I just wanted to know what the SMD community thought Thanks for the help guys!.

Edit: Any one know when it clips? does it have a Low/Hi pass filter? can I hook up two amps to it?

I got this one, I usually don't buy from crutchfield but this one comes with the wiring kit and dash kit specifically for your car. I already have one but I kept it for a extra. Anyway, I love this unit except that the CD player skips when I hit around 144db. As for the CDE-123 I haven't had it but it looks to be a good unit. Good luck

1, amazon does not have any of those in stock.

2, You get what you paid for, I would personally find it hard to only spend 100 on a HU.

3, I'm partial Eclipse HU's, but that's just me.

Very first head unit I ever bought, still in my truck, still works like the day I pulled it out of the box.

second head unit I ever bought, only had this one for a year no problems with it, I love it and it's pretty user friendly.

The only real big problem with these is they were "bought out" you can still find some new head units every now and then, but I would drop a nice chunk of change on a used one if the face was still nice looking.

There are head units that are just as nice or nicer for cheaper, I know Pioneer and higher end Alpines are supposed to be really nice, but I've never messed with them.
