Alpine

im planning on upgrading my head unit to the Alpine CDA 9827. if anyone has this unit i would like to know if they like it and if its a good value. or if anyone can recommend a better one for about the same price ($260 or under). thanks in advance

I can't comment on that one specifically, but Alpine makes really good decks... Great sound quality, and all around awesome. No flashy pictures or movies, just great sound quality
