[QUOTE="dipitydoo, post: 3189604, member: 567383"] I have a CD7000 that I haven't installed yet. But I did use the CD8445, which looks to be basically the same as the CD5000. Nice HU's but has some quirks that bothered me. Mainly these: - remote's volume up/down button verrrrry slow. when you hold it down, the volume moves each notch at about 1/2 second intervals - this problem is compounded by the faceplate volume knob, which is small and difficult to grip - track up/down knob on faceplate is way too sensitive, you end up skipping a track or two more than you intended. This can be remedied by using the remote. - when faceplate drops down to insert cd, it swings out and down about 2 inches, so make sure you have adequate clearance below and in front of the unit.\ - signal processing, like time delay and eq aren't as adjustable as the CD7000 or Alpine's units. I would maybe go with the CD7000/7100 or one of the latest Alpine units. [/QUOTE]
