Pioneer DEH-P2500 XM

Alpine CDA-9805 XM

i sorta want the best sounding headunit for a low price. maybe some of u audio junkies could help out. and if i get a head unti do i need a wire harness because i can't find one for the saturn in the website :-?

Thanks

Get the Alpine, but make it a 9807.

if u want a good deck, the DEH-P6500 is really good. i bought this for my car but it cost $450, that was after taxes, but i think it was well worth it.. just go to canadian tire

forget either, get a DEH-3500...i have one, 100% worth its money, tons of features high-pass filter, sub fade, features hangin out the ass

um compareing the alpine to the pioneer is like comparing a high school senior to a middle school freshman. There just is no comparison. The alpine is better made better quailty cleaner and on and on and on. Alpines belong up there with the Eclipses and such where as the pioneers are best left down with the kenwoods and sony's of the market.

$such = 'eXcelons'

how did i know you were gona say something about that?

My new Alpine sounds every bit as clean and clear as my old Eclipse HU, so I'm with Jake on that one.

Because some people had a bottom-of-the-line Kenwood once, and assume that ALL Kenwoods must be crap because their $120 deck wasn't the best thing in the world. :evil: :moon: Jake, you know I fucking hate when you generalize shit like that.

 

[jakerooni]

Sorry Tiny... Your right. The excelon line is pretty damn good. But if you want to nit pick almost all "store" brands carry a top of the line and the econo lines Out there. But there are a few companies (as for-mentioned) that have decided it's all quality and no crap. And when a company puts itself out like that they deserve to be put above other companies that think putting their name on shit equipment is still ok because it's "Good for business"

My Kenwood isn't Excelon, but it's done pretty good for me. Of course, it's by no means a $120 deck, I believe I paid $300 for it in 1999. Then the changer was another $230 a year later.

My Alpine 9813 is worth all $360 that I spent on it. Decks might look the same on paper, but it's until you hear them that you find out which one is better
