I found this site after i ordered my Dual XDVD8181 deck from ebay. So i was wondering if it was a good idea to have bought for 192.00.? Haven't received it yet...I'm just curious on what you guys have to say about it. Thanks!!//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

BAD... Like 1mtx1 said it should work for a lil while, guy i know that has one his was cool for about 7 months. Now it does not light up and when he press eject the CD or DVD will pause. A few other i know had a motor go bad which means that POS will not flip out or will not go back in, all depends on when it decides to DIE...

Oh yeah word of advice cheaper is not all ways better, cause usually u will pay in the end anyway so just pay up front save time effort and cash. your best bet are Eclipse, Pioneer, Clarion, dont know much about the alpine units, but i know the older PANASONIC CQ-VX100U's are like little tanks. My buddy got a referb one on Ebay for 279 shipped installed it my self and bypassed it also (pretty easy) Just grounded the cord to the chassis ground on the wire harness.Man he beats that thing up bad he takes care of nothing still works perfect

I am leaning toward Clarion there are a few units i have my eye on all have just about any feature u can think off. Only thing about the Clarion units the EQ and such is limited so i will get a external EQ to pair with it. Recently i have been checking out the Pioneer units im just not 100% yet
