i currently have a pioneer that had te rcas shorted out, it works for now but not for long. i am looking into something differant than pioneer. my price range is about 175 and under. i dont need anything too flashy but it does need 3 preouts. i was thinking alpine maybe some of the mid to lower class ones. also i have heard sony are decent, the higher class anyways. i was looking at like circuit city and best buiy as they are the only ones around here besides cartoys and i dont wanna go there!!! cant stand there prices or service!! anyways... any input and suggestions would be awesome! thanks!

Sorry Bumpin' I didn't even look to see who posted this one. Don't want you to think I was trying to shove this down your throat. I am glad you finally got it at least better than it was. As stated earlier, at least look at the alpine stuff. I didn't even know Cadence made a radio, their amps are nothing to be excited about unless of course you are upgrading from AudioBling. At least give the alpine CDA-9884 a look. 200 bucks with I-pod cable. Just keep the RCAs off of the distribution block and all will be well.

lol thanks "i am" . yea cadence has a decent looking one but i dont like the controls so poo on that. i bought my gf a alpine 9884 and she loves it. i may go that way also. but instead of CC or bestbuy i may just order off a store on ebay. i found a couple good stores that i shop from even though everyone says there bad!! they havnt let me down yet. lol but buying seperate then having CC install it would be cheaper than buying from CC themselves. (i like to be the cheapest possible can ya tell?) still would like to hear some other input!!
