Wanting to buy a deck with time alignment...

[Chad T 10+ year member]

I'm wanting to get a new deck and I'd like to get one with time alignment adjustment. Ideally, I'd like it to also have three time alignment presets, so I could have a setting for the driver, one for the passengear, and a preset that gives a good compromise between the two. Also, I'd like the deck to have the following:

-Single DIN

-Subdued appearance

-Detachable face

-Built-in crossover

-iPod interface or aux input

-preferably 4 volt+ preouts

-Under $500 street

I'm thinking about a Pioneer 880. Any other suggestions?

i've got a cda-9835 in mint condition, but it would take a bit for me to part with it, sub 500 though, PM me with an offer

Am I understanding correctly that the 880 allows for 3 time alignment presets?

How many presets do the Alpine units allow?

Alpine can do like 5

Well, the 9855. But that h/u just annoys me

I picked up an Alpine CDA-9830 for around a hundred bucks, just for the time alignment. I'm actually quite fond of it - if only the car it was installed in ran well enough for it to get some use. =-\ //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

The pioneer doesnt have presets. you can go into the menu and set it for right front, middle, left front or rear. It does have 3-way time alignment for when running active.

You can do the time alignment when not in the active mode.
