[QUOTE="2wheeler, post: 921283, member: 559633"] I agree that Eclipse decks cost more if you are comparing feature for feature. I had an alpine 9830 that had a lot of features (4 band eq, time alignment etc.) but wasnt reliable. I sent it back after it shut down and required resetting 6 times in the first 30 days of ownership. I then listened to eclipse 5425 and alpine (9830) side by side, both set flat, and IMO the eclipse sounded better. Price of the 9830 was 260 delivered, 5425 is 249+tax at my local dealer. So if you buy for sound quality, eclipse is the best deal out there, if you shop for features, there is a lot better deals to be found. The question is: whats important to you, sound quality or bells and whistles? [/QUOTE]
