[QUOTE="InstalledStereo, post: 534675, member: 556608"] Let me just say this. If you have a vault of cash to spend, save it and buy the cheapest alpine cd player you can get your hands on. Basically I've personally heard these in my car while testing them out to see if they work. cde 7853 cde 7856 cde 7858 cde 7870 cde 7872 cdm 9821 cdm 9803 cdm 7871 cdm 7861 cda 7862 cda 7863 cda 7864 cda 7987 Those stereo's are as old as 2000 , the cheapest one goes on ebay for like $60. The way I view car stereo's is Alpine all the way. I don't have too much to spend but I'm not going to buy a car stereo based on my budget, I'll save for the sucker. After testing low end units that go for $100 new on ebay to high end units that retail for well over $500 CDA 7897, I've come to the conclusion that the only reason a person would purchase a higher end unit Alpine Deck is for the features and looks. Every single alpine will sound great, Alpine is the manufacturer if Honda Car Stereos. The higher end the headunit, the more features there are such as a motorized face, mp3 capability, whether the faceplate is silver with blue buttons or black with green buttons, different LED displays.
