Alpine PDX-4.100 at Pioneer Looking to buy a flat screen TV? KURO gives you the best picture quality you can get. Now blacker than ever and with extreme contrast. See for yourself.
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...

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...

Advantages: High quality, well-priced, feature packed Disadvantages: Annoying power off button - that's it!!
...to a format that suits you (choice of 10). The tuner has an huge amount of functions RDS,PTY,Radio Text etc..... You'll definately need the manual to set it up and to pick out the functions that you want to use (you wont want them all!) The sound quality is very good through the 4 x 40W internal amplifier. It has 4V pre-outs to connect to an external amplifier which gives excellent quality sound. It uses Alpine's Ai Net connection system, which allows you to add all sorts of extras such as CD changer, MD player, TV screen, Video etc. The display lighting can be altered to green or amber to match the car lighting and can be set-up to mute if your phone rings when it's connected top a hands-free in-car kit. It evens comes with an infra-red remote control - very impressive but not all that useful.
The unit is basically stacked with features...

When I first used this deck I remember thinking how stiff it felt and to me felt quite cumbersome. But with the right slipmat and a bit of polish on the platter, it's a beauty to use!
I don't scratch, but I'm aware of how good this deck is for... more
For years and years most amateur and professional djs would have only used the common direct drive deck from Technics. Every club and DJ were used to the brand name and trusted its reputation. Times are changing!
