i'd be more afraid of the motorized face breaking than the h/u itself...or losing the remote, or something stupid

i've had decks last up to 3yrs in my street vehicles before i just upgraded for a change...but in offroad/dusty conditions, you are lucky to go 1yr before changing decks. that's my experience in new mexico anyhow...

I had a pioneer deh-10 or 1000 cant quite remember, had it since high school. recently sold it on ebay. That would mean that it was atleast 6-7 years old

i have a 3 year warranty on my alpine. i dont have to worry about it breaking for atleast 3 years. i'll probably sell it before the warranty is up though.

Kenwood Excelon x-659. Getting close to 3 years - deck and remote still working great. Deck looks almost new because I always use the remote and seldom touch the deck.

Kenwood DPX-440 double-din. Was top of the line in its day. Over 6 years old. Used as part on a carputer system. Some scratched paint but the deck and remote still works flawlessly. Due to it's large display, it's still a strikes up a conversation whenever new people get in the car.

I usually like non-motorized face decks.

Your first radio will probably last you six months(due to u upgrading it or it getting stolen-my situation). But as far as money goes it is relativeley expensive. Dont buy anything at retail if you dont absoluteley have to. Every other person you see has either a connection or a "buddy". Ebay is awesome as well. If this is going to be your first experience with a system, enjoy it cause like most people will tell u it is addicting but bad *** none the less.

My first deck was running like new for 4 years before it was stolen, my present one I have had for 3 and no problems at all, besides losing the remote. Treat your equipment well, and it will treat you well right back.
