new deck?

Alpine kicks ass! It's so easy to install a deck. You take out the center piece, and un-bolt the radio, unplug the harness, buy a wiring harness that matches your car from Good Guys or Best Buys, then plug and play!
Well....kinda like that, but it's easy!

I have last years 8 series from Clarion and I am very happy with it. It looks like this years model is a bit different, but barring a strange drop off in quality you should be very happy with a deck like that.

tads you got pics of it installed? and are your speakers stock jbls?

Yeah, I took a few pictures yesterday. What information are you looking for? Fitment information, taken at an angle, or do you want just strait on shots?

I have a wide-angle shot and a new close-up on my Cardomain.com site. It shows that the deck sticks out a bit because of the motorized face. I can post something more if you need. Also, you can check all of my stereo information there

any ideas? it looks sweet

panasonic- yuck
looks aren't everything! (at least in this situation)
those alpines are much better
or a pioneer, clarion, eclipse, nak, denon, etc etc

how about a rockford fosgate rfx9400?
it still has some warranty on it through rockford fosgate
it was their top of the line unit
i think it retailed at 799 (http://www.1-877camcorder.com/rfx9400.html)
who said ebay is the cheapest?
$250 shipped (insured w/delivery confirmation) from me

I had a DXZ825 for about 2 months before I bought the 835MP. I wanted the MP3 capability of the 835MP. Both are excellent radios. Clarions are the only HU's I have ever owned. Even since my first Audia 20 Cassette Deck..

Btw is your a DXR or DXZ825. Never heard of the DXR series..

My bad

. It is a DXZ. I am not sure where that R came from. Thanks for the heads up, as you can see I fixed that straightway!
