You know its the funniest thing. I think Alpines are the sweetest looking head units out there, and I don't even own one. Very nice deck! Enjoy. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

TONS of people ~ else they would not remain one of the top online electronics merchants for multiple decades as they inarguably have.

My current HU, the HU my current one replaced, the HU I owned before that (all 3 eXcelon units) and the cassette deck I purchased before the eXcelon CD receivers all came from Crutchfield. There's something to be said for a 'no questions' policy on returning any item within the first 30 days of ownership should you change your mind for any reason and outstanding customer service after that. I understand retail pricing ftl, right? Sometimes to some people paying that extra bit over eBay or other online pricing is worth it. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

That's where I bought mine from. Like gamble19 said, they give you everything you need. It was the cheapest I found the HU for $199.99, and they threw in a free mounting kit and a free wiring harness.
