IMO Options:
1. If you want to stretch your budget, Eclipse CD7200 is the one. If you chose CD7200, everything will need an external Amp as there is no internal Amp.
2. In your budget, Clarion is VFM.
3. If you don't want to consider option 1 and 2, buy the HU from India. |
Akbaree,
1. Unfortunately, CD7200 is way out of my budget and its best price as of now is USD 490 whereas my budget is max of USD 275.
2. Can you please elaborate if Clarion is VFM compared to Alpine. From all the reviews that I read in the US car audio forums, I see most of them tend to choose between Eclipse/Alpine/Pioneer. Does Clarion sound quality exceed that of the Alpine's equally priced models ?
If Clarion DXB785USB can exceed the Alpine CDA-9886 quality (both are around the same price point of around USD 230 in EBAY), then I can given a serious thought about the Clarion. Currently, I lack this Clarion DXB785USB vs Alpine CDA-9886 comparo knowledge. Anyone can shed some light on this ... Please!
