it depends on ur budget

eclipse 5100 should be abit more than 1k only. Much better than the 2100 or 3100

im not very familar with alpine though.. hehehe. Using pioneer myself. depends on ur taste also. Generally

eclipse: bright sounding
pioneer: abit mellow sounding
alpine: in between

yeap.. eclipse need to do up their interface, but if ur looking for bang for buck HU, eclipse i will vote. even 2100 comes with 3 rca preout already. Cant really find alpine with such specs unless ur looking at higher models

dun say things so early... once kena u wun even think twice to spend speaking from experience here.
