[QUOTE="morg, post: 1260890, member: 564503"] i fell in love with the Alpine 9855, but after reading bad reviews and hating that glide bar, i have leaned towards not getting it. I have about 400 bucks give or take a few budgeted for my H/U. I am looking for great sound quality but great usability also. I play a lot of MP3's. I have narrowed it down to three... Alpine 9855 - $450(have to go warranty with that dang glide bar) -the bad reviews scare me. and I hate the glidebar stuff. Have heard the quick search function for mp3's is pretty good. Kenwood xxv-01d($399 at etronics.com, pending deal at store) -like the display. I think you can add your own images which would be great. don't know much about kenwood, but hear they are pretty good. Eclipse 8445 ($450 installed at store) -I know as far as SQ is concerned, that this deck is pretty top notch. But I am really dissapointed in the display. I think it is pretty ugly really. The layout of everything else is fine though. when the eclipse guy was showing me the mp3 stuff, I didn't care for the way it read out folders/files. Help?? I need to buy this week. [/QUOTE]
