simple question
 

whats the top three brands for a deck???
im thinking pioneer, panasonic, alpine???

thanks guys

Well this question is all personal preference. But here is my list

Nakamichi
Eclipse
Clarion

I'd have to say from presonal experiance as these are all i've owned

1-Alpine
2-Pioneer
3-Sony

all 3 have have served me well

Eclipse
Panasonic

I've only owned a panasonic and I love it. don't go cheap on the deck though.

1- Pioneer
2- Clarion
3- Eclipse

Clarion, Alpine, and Pioneer.

I just bought a used pioneer, and it is great. no skipping, and loud as heck even on hu power. makes my setup much better due to the sound blending better with the sub. also i have yet to hear a "bad" sounding pioneer deck.
cant go wrong there. alpine is also another fav.

Clarion
Alpine
Kenwood, Sony, Pioneer, Panasonic

My top 3, PAnasonic,
ALpine,
Eclipse

My Top 3
1. Eclipse
2. Alpine
3. Tie: Clarion & Pioneer

That's pretty much all the common/big name companies . . .

Nak, Clarion, Alpine.

Everyone has an opinion.....

Who cares, buy what you like. you'll compromise for price anyway.

Agree ^^

ya right now i have a pansonic and it serves me well but its a cheap model.

so im gonna go with eclipse, pioneer, alpine, or panasonic
anyone have a model that is really good and they'd recommend? i just need one with sub control!!!

ill be buying off a friend who gets them dirt cheap.... woot woot:thumbsup:

My recommendation to anyone buying a deck is that brand doesn't matter near as much as features and quality. Buy the higher end of whatever line you chose. If you want CD/mp3/ipod and you want alpine, don't buy the low end model, buy the very best CD/mp3/ipod player that alpine makes.
Don't cheap out!!

absolutely. but i cant afford a deck for a grand! so i have to cheap out a little bit.

The new Clarion 775USB that has all that and TA, 24bit da and a few other goodies come in at $369msrp this year
