Old school Alpine vs. Eclipse 8454 ($185 diffreence)

[02Corvette 10+ year member]

I have a chance to trade an Alpine 7873 for an Eclipse 8454 for a $185 difference...//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Would it be worth it as for SQ and features, both HU's are in like new condition? Everyone's opinion please.........

Current system:

-Diamond Audio D7054 & D7401 amps

-Alpine typr R 6.5" components

-Alpine type R 12" sub

I'm not familiar with the 7873, but the Eclipse is a very nice unit. It would be hard for any head unit to sound better than the Eclipse.

oh and note i haven't heard the hus, but heard a bunchload of both and i can clearly say from what i know that 8454 is years ahead hehe

the esclipse is far better. But that alpine is a good unit to. I mean either way u will be fine.

Well I just got done w/ the deal and the 8454 looks much nicer in person than in the ads. The manual is so thick it must be more like a computer than a HU:laugh: ! It was a tough choice, I have always liked my Alpine 7873, but feel its time to move up to see what all the "hype" is about....I'll keep everyone posted.
