awesome head unit.

I bought this head unit and was running and amp and 2 10s and this thing sounded so nice. ipod capabilities are why i bought it and i was more than satisfied. It's amazing having every song you listen to right at your finger tips. Artist scrolling can be a little slow if you need to get to an artist in the middle of the alphabet and you have a lot of artists, that's my only complaint really. it was money well spent. it was so nice, actually, that it was stolen right out of my car! :-(

Great head unit

I've had this unit for about 3 months. I love it. There are a ton of options. I like the motorized face when loading cd's. One of the best for the price.

Thumbs up

Very nice head unit. Tons of features, some of which I still need to read up on. Comes with a nice remote. One that isn't so small that it gets lost everytime you put it down. Only thing is the pre out are only a 2V. wish they were 4. Sound quality is great. I highly recommend Alpine.

Alpine rocks!

This is my third alpine car stereo. They all have worked great, but I keep buying new cars. There's no question in my mind the power and sound quality is the best for the price. Plus they look so cool! I especially like the sirius satellite capability addition.
