in this one, pioneer with out a doubt

 

[Bumpin03 10+ year member]

i say alpine....all in all i think alpine makes better HU's. Pioneers tend to have more features and look like the better deck from the pure looks of it. But I like the SQ and durability of the alpines. Alpine gets my vote.

 

[JLCivic 10+ year member]

I would take the Pioneer. I see ALOT more complaints on the forums about alpine decks, reliability wise, than I do pioneer.
