Alpine or Clarion?!?!? HELP

Alpine or Clarion?!?!? HELP

I plan to purchase a new deck for my car, since my old kenwood deck is starting to skip. I'm either looking at Alpine CDA-9813 or the Clarion DXZ835MP, but i don't know which one is better. I already have a kenwood 300 watt amp and kenwood amp, i just want a good mp3 deck to complete the system. Anyone know which one is better over the other? or maybe even what some of the features of each unit are, cause the websites all say things that i don't know what it does.

Thanks
Rob

Alpine is an awesome HU. It has soooo many features and sound reallly good. They are also one of the best looking HU on the market.

I'd personally go with Alpine... I think they make great looking head units with enough power. Alpine vs Clarion Comparison @ Crutchfield

i also would recomend the alpine. the 9813 is a great model. i am personally going with the 9815 which adds the i personalize and blue buttons vs the 9813 green buttons. but alpine is a better HU in my opinion and i think it looks great in our cars. i am gettin mine from crutchfield when i get home from vacation next week and cant wait to install it in my car. i am also going with new alpine speakers at all the corners.

well forget crutchfield i just found a store here in Ft Lauderdale that has the Alpine 9815 new for 399 vs 499 and a Type R 2 ohm 12Inch sub 179 vs 199 and a Alpine V12 Mono amp for 279 vs 329. every price beats the crutchfield price hands down . all i have to buy is a mounting kit and that only will run me an additional 25. i am going to get it probibly on tomorrow he said the special prices are only till then so i gotta hurry.
