Need a deck under 400 dollars

[RoninUSP]

Hello, I am new to the forums, I generally post on offtopic.com but thought i'd also register on a car audio site.

Anyway, I was supposed to be getting a cd5000 through a contact but that fell through (he's too busy) so now I have to resort to buying elsewhere and I am not sure what to get.

I was thinking CD4000 maybe or perhaps an alpine of some sort.

Also, what would be a good site to get a deck from? (i was thinking cardomain-eclipse, woofersetc for something else)

well any help would be great, its going into a 66 mustang and the project is picking up again so im trying to get things figured out as soon as possible.

i like my 9855 a lot. you can probably still find one somewhere. the cd5000 is a good deck as well.

try to get an alpine 7998, probably the most badass deck ever

yeah i was looking forward to the 5000, but it has now left my price range

ive been looking at alpines as well im just concerned about their 2V pre-out voltage

im trying to avoid going ebay or having to really hunt for something

going used is something i dont want to do either, the only time id go used is if i really knew the person or was referred to them by a trusted person

every once in a while a 7998 or a 9835 comes up for sale in the classifieds here, but you might have to wait a while.

Whats important to you in a deck, feature wise?

Id recommend a Pioneer 880prs.......I have one, and couldnt be happier.

First and formost, try your local Eclipse dealer and see if they have what you are looking for. I know mine bought up a bunch of '05 8v decks and had the 8445 for $350.

Online options include SD, Crutch, Cartoys.com and Tweeter.com (select products ship with warranty).

Check out the new Pioneer 780,7800, 980, or 9800. They're $100 off at Crutchfields. The 7800 is going for $319 and the 9800 is going for $449. Great deals considering what I paid when they first came out. But I'm loving the 16 band Eq and awesome display.

i like my 7998 =], but if you're in need of a deck right away, look into the pioneer models, or some of the alpine models that are currently out, you're bound to find something that will fit your needs
