New Head Unit but which to get?

[jablitt]

Ok, i did have a alpine CDE 101RM which i have given to my girlfriend so im now after a new one for myself. I've been looking at the Pioneer DEH-7200SD. What would you guys recomend?

I've got about 150ish to 160ish to spend.

Thanks.

i'd probably opt for this at roughly your price

As a Pioneer owner I would say get a Pioneer, they look so much nicer than the Alpine units!

The one your looking it is very nice, but if you want suggestions to other head units you should post with what you want from it. I.e. iPod, bluetooth

The Alpine one posted above is great, I have the 103BT but it's great, such a good quality sound from it

you tend to listen to head units more than look at them:rasp:

pioneers were sweet when they had the old school burr brown's

cheers for the advice so far.

i dont need loads of features, CD and ipod compatablility. i've already got a sub and up rated door speakers in the front and the back.

well this might be better

as it come with the cable aswell to connect your ipod

But how much sound difference will it make in a low-end build? :rasp:

I, in all fairness, wouldnt notice the difference anyway!

Ok, took your advice and although i liked the look of the pioneer i went for the Alpine CDE-9882Ri as recomended by Dink. Thought id stick with what i know seen as i was impressed with my last Alpine. Got free postage on it too!

If its s**t i'll hold you personally responsible. :rasp:
