Robert8252 Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 Just wondering if anyone can give me a few models that are worth a damn for less than $500 besides pioneer. My brother has been looking and looking but can't find anything with decent features and a decent RCA output.

skittlesRgood Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 pioneer will have the best features for the price.

Robert8252 Posted September 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 Just trying to find something other then pioneer. I love the looks of the 4200 but my brother who is the one needing a new one doesn't like pioneer that much Quote 2013 F150 Crew Cab Old Build Log Feedback 2013 F150 Equipment - Some Awesome Stereo Sound Making Stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audiofanaticz Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 the alpine 205 sucks!!! I lost over 1 db using it for a external headunit for bassrace and db drag.. The alpine cda-105 which uses the same pre out voltage, and lack there of a eq settings. but over a db louder then the 204.. Even the newest top dollar alpine unit is crap.. It feels like its made from dual or jensen parts... buttons are cheap single color backdrops and illumination keys. None of the alpine flipouts or double dins offer usb, and me hating ipods needs my usb... or try to find a discontinued usb adapter that runs thru ai-net and dont hold a memory... yea right.... Ill get right on that. Alpine is really failing hard this year. Personally think the Pioneers or JVC headunits are the way to go according to cost, and options.

Destram Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 What's he have against Pioneer? Like has been said, you get a great product for a reasonable price. You can find on eBay some great double dins for under $500 from Pioneer.

Robert8252 Posted September 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 No want for nav and satellite and wanting closer to 4v preouts and trying to keep away from 2v.

Robert8252 Posted September 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 It's just weird with pioneer. Never had an issue but from using many different pioneers, kenwoods, and a few alpines, and some odd balls the sound was just kind of flat with the pioneer always and just seemed kind of dull. Never had one using all external amps though so maybe just need to consider Pioneer..

audiofanaticz Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 Lol, you're kidding, right? You really used a DD as an external deck? LOL... Try the Alpine 7909, or 7949... Yes, true story..... LMAO! I wanted to be different then everyone else.... LOL It ran right thru my alpine 11band eq which boosts my preouts up to 4volts then the sub channel straight to my maxx-link which I have set for about 6.5volts... So everything was identical in the system except headunits. LOL I also tried a CDA-102 a week later for a external unit and was right on par with the cda-105 in the dash.
