So I am in the market for an Alpine 901. I made some calls today and found out that a lot of stores have the D900 in B-stock selling for really cheap. I am told that the B-stock items have been factory refurbished, complete with all of the accessories and 90-day warranty.

Personally, I have never bought anything refurb., I have always bought brand new. Does this sound like a good deal or not? Has anyone ever had any troubles with Alpine B-stock stuff? What are some of the dis/advantages from buying B-stock equipment?

Thanks.

I have a refurb cva1003, and it seems to be fine.
I would suggest that you look in to extending that 90 day warranty (depending on who the additional insurance is through), as that peice has a lot of moving parts etc.
It also depends on the price, how much are they?

Alpine refurbs are pretty hit and miss in terms of reliability. extend warranty if you buy one. im not one to buy warranties but I would for sure on a refurb.

Shhhhhh . . .

Here is my secret . . .

Number One Sound downtown . . . don't tell anyone else.

I just grabbed the D900 today for $1399. Dam good price I paid. George hooked it up. He may have a few left. I saved like $800 having not chosen the D901, which was even at cost price. I am very happy with my choice. Just can't wait to install it tomorrow!

Video is back in the car baby!

Number One always has good Alpine refurb deals.

Or is that supposed to be a secret?

Great shop to deal with in general
