Re: Whats better Alpine or Pioneer??

the difference between the two is really mostly having to deal with audio (hu, amps, subs/speakers)

and is the dvd player a in dash one and did you want one with a screen.becuase the way you have your post worded it sounds like you want each one sepreate (sp) and also will it be attached to a system if it is a in dash one

Re: Whats better Alpine or Pioneer??

I have had good experience with Pioneer car audio products. Owned 3 different head units, all still work and the oldest is 4 years now. Also owned a few sets of their speakers, did the job pretty well. I would think their DVD units would be quality also.

Don't ever look at cars as just imports or domestics. Just because a car is made in a certain country doesn't mean that it is anything like another car from that country. An example of this is Mitsubishi reliability, just because they are Japanese doesn't mean that they are as reliable as a Honda or Toyota.
