best for your money

The only thing i can say is its the best choice on a budget.

Great HU, 100% recommended.

For the price you are paying, this stereo goes above and beyond expectations. Although I'm not suprised since Alpine is a very trusted brand. The sound quality improvement is enormous and it puts out a decent amount of power, nothing that'l blow your ears off but definitely very loud. USB and aux ports very convenient and the player itself was a very easy install.

its an alpine nuff said

Entry or high end Alpine always delivers and this unit is another greath addition. I've had the cde102, cda105 and the cda9886, I love all of them, and now this is my 4th alpine, first alpine I had cde102 I upgraded to the 105, then 105 got stolen then found 9886 in a pawn shop and with no hesitation bought it, then sold my car that 9886 was in an it was all she wrote, and now I have th cde121 and wow the sound difference between my 99 chrysler concorde unit was a lot. Alpine clean and clear power totally recommend.
