Alpine CDA7876

Advantages: Best sound quality in its price range
Disadvantages: Ugly as sin

...The ultimate in ICE (in car entertainment). ALPINE! A big name for many years in the automotive industry delivering some of the best amplifiers, headunits and speakers available. The CDA range definately does not dissapoint. Featuring all of the classic alpine qualities including the old alpine look with the 4 buttons to the left of the round volume control (which now functions as a whole lot more). Its an absolutely ugly headunit as all alpines are, a pig to operate and I dont think there is anyone in the world that has mastered every option on an alpine unit since they first started producing them, but from the moment you first power it up you fall in love with the depth, warmth and clarity of the sound reproduction. My favourite trick is to leave the eq exactly as it comes from factory, but to increase the subwoofer output level... Read review

Advantages: Power
Disadvantages: Price

...As a keen purchaser of Alpine products in the past it is fair to say they have a repretation in the industry. And when it comes to in car audio it is hardvto beat them. This product provides clarity that you would expect as well as a few extras which rivilys would find hard to beat. Its not cheap but then what is and would you buy it if it was no. It the quality you expect from a brand that provides knowledge and well made products as expected.This amp kicks asre and will be seen in many a tesco park park in the future with out a doubt.

Advantages: It is very highly powered, and can handle anything
Disadvantages: i could not get it to work whilst the ignition was off

...this headunit is the best headunit i have had for a while, it has a glidetouch function which makes selecting cd or radio a lot easier whilst driving. it also has a high power output, i have 6 sets of speakers in my car and an amplifier and sub and the cd player runs them all very happily. all are after market alpine and pioneer speakers, also fusion 6x9's and amp and sub, and the cd player cannot be faulted. i chose to go for the mid range alpine cd player to get the best functions at a reasonable price and found that i got all this and more. the colours can also be changed and it can tilt 4 different angles, all of this i did not know until after buying this and these extra functions amazed me! the colours are completly different and the headunit looks brilliant! Not to be faulted... Read review
