Gotz a question.
What, in your opinions, should I get for: The best price Best sound Quality Best Appearance Also, should I save for a DD? Are there any good deck under 200? Oh, it has to have iPod compat. Thx! -------------------- |

In my experience and research, for the money, value, and quality, Alpine has the best units out there. The iPod interface is way better than I've seen on other decks that truly are iPod ready. Expect to pay about $200 for it, plus the cable, (which charges your iPod, it's not just an aux cable) which for Alpine I think runs around $35. You can run the cable to your glove box, pop in your iPod, and have full iPod controls from the head unit without having to fuss with the iPod itself (a challenge at best when you're driving!).
The downside to the Alpine decks, in my opinion, is that the face isn't as slick as some of the others with all the bells and whistles and pretty colors. Other units have gorgeous displays, which I really like... but the Alpine decks have that great user interface and the audio quality is outstanding. Just my two cents. --------------------  |
