Which HU would you choose? A JVC KD-LH3150 for $430, a 2002 Alpine CDA-7894 for $389 (cost) or a 2002 Alpine CDA-7998 for $490 (cost)?
The JVC has nifty graphics and animations so I am kind of leaning towards that but I know the Alpines will kill the JVC in terms of sound quality with their "MediaXpander" and V-drive 27Wx4 output... Geez... snazzy graphics or snazzy sound...
This will be going into a '97 Acura Integra Type R with stock speakers to be upgraded later. (Type R components maybe?
)

One thing to think about is that the JVC and its snazzy graphics will look tight for a while but eventually they'll get boring and redundant. Although if your goal is to impress passengers and stuff then that's another story. But ummm...the alpine's sound quality will always keep you happy and it's something that you'll always be able to tell the difference in. And having great sound will never get old, that's for sure.
