Im looking at 2 HUs I cant decide which one to get

Ok, Contender One- Alpine CDA-9857
Heres the product info from crutchfield...

Ok, Contender Two- Pioneer DEH-P7800MP
Heres the product info from crutchfield...

I can get the Pioneer for $315 Shipped, and I can get the Alpine for $270 shipped. Both come with the install equipment.

ANY INPUT WOULD BE GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanx...

If you like alternator whine, choose the Pioneer.

It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."
