MP3 Decks

[Tombo 10+ year member]

Hullo,

I'm looking into purchasing an MP3 deck. With it, I plan on using a pair of 200 watt amps, one 4 channel for my speakers, one 2 channel for my subs.

Here are the models I'm looking at:

I'm hoping for something within a $500 CDN range. So - any advice? Anything else I should know?

I'm not planning to buy online, those listed decks are only ones avaliable in my area, that's the only reason why I linked them.

Plus, the prices listed are in Canadian.

I am, however, going to get a hold of some product catalogs, and see if I can order specific decks from whatever certified local ealers I can find.

Look at Alpine, Pioneer, Eclipse, Clarion, and Panasonic. Be specific, what features do you want in your deck? Rotary volume? 2 or 3 preouts? etc.

1. MP3 deck

2. Volume nob

3. Remote

4. Around $500 CDN

5. Quality sound

6. 2 preouts

7. Power doesn't matter much, I'll probably run all 4 speakers off 4-channel amp.

The cheapest Alpine is the CDA-7894 but it is $800 CA - can probably be found for cheaper elsewhere on the internet.

Pioneer's DEH-7400MP is the cheapest head unit which comes in at around $600 MRSP....again, can be found for cheaper.

You can check out the other brands I listed before...

PS: When I say cheapest, I mean the cheapest unit they offer that meets your current requirements.

No kidding...2 plus weeks for repair, and besides, they want something like $1200 for a W7...just a tad overpriced
