Well it's like this:

I'm making my hatch into a semi-full blown race car. I have a nice "system" in there now, but I'm taking it all out along with my back seats etc. I want a good CD player that doesn't skip which will power two Infinity Kappa speakers.

All I need a CD player for is cruising around town and to the drag strip (80 miles away) and trips to Seattle for HT meets.

It has to play mp3 cds, not skip, and not be too blingy.

What do you have for me?

 

Alpine

That's all the Alpines under $250 US, although the dealers will be blowing out last years models, so now would be a good time to buy. 94

 

What do you guys think about this eclipse coming out in feb?

I know eclipse was a good brand in the past...

 

i had a pioneer deh-p7600 and loved it. paid $260.00 for it 2 years ago. my friend had a lower model pioneer, cost about $190.00 and was just as good as mine, just not as flashy. i'm checking out new models at crutchfield cause i sold my car with the pioneer in it. i've had a pioneer, kenwwod, and an alpine and prefer the pioneers.

 

alpine has the nice crossover features that pioneer does not have. but pioneer is easy to navigate. whatever it is make sure it's detachable. most come that way now.

 

Alpine trust me, i will never go back to pioneer again the worst. MP3 doesnt work properly after only 2 years??? My moms old alpine still bagging nice and hard.


Alpine

 

Pioneer is your best bet got my 4600 for 160.00

 

I just put a Kenwood ez-500 in my car. looks good, sounds good, lots of options, has an aux input for you ipod people, controls sat radio, mp3, wma i think. only cost me $165 shipped new. got it off of ebay, but it was through http://www.ikesound.com

 

Kenwood is great. I've always loved them.

 

eclipse all the way i have had 3 in the past in 3 different cars and will never go back to any other brand

 

It's between Eclipse and Alpine. Not really sure which to choose, probably can't go wrong either way.

 

I'm a huge fan of Pioneer for their crisp sounds. Deh p6000 ub is the model I would get. You can connect any usb thumb drive or memory stick to it that has mp3's and it will play it.

 

$250, right?
