Currently Im using the sony cdx-690 head unit.

 

I love the pioneer 7450 series and above.... Mostly into the graphics... [laugh]

 

But i will say Im more into clarity and staging of the music....not so much bass

I find that Alpine is good for the musical side of things,

Visually, not so appealing

 

Sony is visually more modern and upmarket looking

 

Pioneer seems to have alot of visual attractions on the screen.

 

Just my 2c

Forget it. For $688, can get a 2nd hand Soundstream Picasso amp for around $300, plus a pair of brand new CDT CL62 components for around $300 as well. Just top up a little bit for installation. Definitely sound better than the Sonys. The only Sony amp that I've liked so far is still the ES Mobile series. The Xplod series are notoriously over-rated in power & the filters are about as clean as other cheaper brands such as Volcano & O2 Audio.

 

I've installed a few sets of Xplod speakers & a couple of Xplod subs. Quite disappointed but then again, looking at the price tags of the export sets in SLT, this comes as no surprise.
