Please recommend a deck (<$250)

[duckey]

Hey guys,

I just got an 12" JBL sub and monoblock and am now looking for a new deck as the one in my car is old and doesnt let me tune much.

Can anyone recommend any good decks for under $250 (preferably $200).

I'm not very car-tech saavy so please excuse my ignorance.

Thanks!

explain your idea of "tune" please...

alpine!

[ICACHA]

alpine is fine, but he has to tell us what he wants it to do as he mentioned "tune".

hey guys

people have told me i need a better deck because the one i currently have only has basic tuning functions such as bass, treble, balance etc...

the one i have is a pioneer but its about 8 years old i reckon

[BLKEM1]

Pioneer decks are ok too.. got one with USB input for under $200!!

we'll tell ya if you need 'better tuning' if you can tell us what the difference is between a parametric & graphic equaliser..

[ICACHA]

they both suck if you dont have enough bands :p

[arverson]

i reckon a 3 band graphic equaliser is enough for him :p

Alpine CDA-9887

This is what i got...

it has a Imprint sound software... but it doesn't come with the unit you need to go to Alpine Authorize dealer to get the software into your system...

once you got the Imprint sound software installed your system will kick ass!

[arverson]

check his budget mars

[mars_panas]

you can't really get anything decent for $250...
