Hey, I'm looking for a new deck sometime in the near future. I'm not really picky on one brand or the other, but want something thats good for a low price range. Basically, I'm just wanting to know what are some nice decks in the 170-220$ US range.

alpine cda-9851 or pioneer deh-p7700mp they can both be found online for around $220

or Clarion ProAudio DXZ655MP

panasonic MXE 7401U thats a nice deck and you should be able to get it pretty close to that price. or a JVC AR760/860

premier deh-p670 160 at ikesound one of the best decks in my opinion. sub 200 dollars.

QFT. Pioneer all the way for HU's.

Well, after calling around town to local dealers about those decks, looks like it's a tossup between:

Pioneer Premier DEH-P670 (290$ Canadian 250$ US)

Alpine CDA-9847 (300$ Canadian 250$ US)

JVC KD-AR760 (260$ Canadian 225$ US)

I'm probably going to get the Alpine one.

My prices are high compared to Sonicelectronix but, I have to pay another 20$ for Shipping to the border and then another 40$ from that border to my house. So basically take the price u see on Sonicelectronix and +60$ to it. ikesound.com doesn't ship to Canada either. If I buy from in town also, I don't have to mail it out anywhere if stuff goes wrong.

I also vote for Pioneer, I love Pioneer HU's. What makes you wanna go with the Alpine? They are both solid, no matter what you get you are gonna get a solid HU, because Pioneer and Alpine both make solid HU's (IMO), there are other brands but those would be my "favorites", with Pioneer on top.

Anyways that whole Canada thing is a drag, but hey, at least the socialism up there gets you like free Dental Care and shit. My dad has spent around $50,000 on his teeth, if you can believe that.

I also vote pioneer. I've owned every 6000 series from the 6300 up to the 6600 and have been impressed with every single one.

Hehe, I just think Alpine looks sharper, but hey, you guys know yer shit. My basis is on cosmetics solely, it seems that the Pioneer is the better, so that's the smart choice! Thanks for all yer feedback
