Out of the 3, Kenwood for sure, or less you are gonna get the top of the line Pioneer which is going for like $1,050 on eBay.

You may be a little misinformed, because the 9855 or the 9887are incredible decks. You really should look into a CDA 117 or the 105 too. Decks process music, and the way they process iPod music is really important to me, but as for what kind of music a deck can play, it more depends on the CD itself or iPod and the speakers, assuming you are not using amps. This is why the deck has EQ sets for you to change the way the music sounds. Or less you are super SQ, I dont know anyone who buys a deck for the kind of music you listen to. Many many people listen to rap, and they run Alpines ALL DAY.

What am I missing? I may try a 117 if its fairly close to the 9855 but I think its about double his budget...
