[QUOTE="Hintzyboy, post: 2239485, member: 566521"] I can't say that I'd definitely take one over the other. I don't have any experience with Alpine units (yet, I'm waiting to install one right now), but I've owned a couple Pioneers and have loved them. Very nice units and very dependable. The one I have now is about 3 or 4 years old and still woks like the day I bought it. I've known people who've had Pioneer units for 10 years that still work great. The DEX-P9 unit is made specifically for competition level sq setups, whereas the Alpine uit, although it probably has very good sq, is not made with the same intentions as the pioneer. Alpine's ultimate sq unit is a $2400 HU from their F#1 Status line. I think that the Pioneer would give you more sq for your cash.
