[QUOTE="TwistedVisions, post: 443575, member: 554844"] Okay well im trying to get a head unit for my car and i was willing to spend up to 250 for the head unit and another 150 for the install. I had my choices narrowed down to the pioneer dehp660, and the alpine APN CDA9827. I was looking at the pioneer because it had the 3-band equalizer, and the 3d graphics. The equalizer would be nice to have to tweak my settings to get the best quality out of my infinity 6x9's in the rear and my polk 5'1/4 in my doors.
