Need some advice on an aftermarket deck

[mdass52]

Hey everyone, I've decided to go with an aftermarket deck. Im looking at the Alpine CDA-9886, the Kenwood Excelon x-891. What im looking for is 3 pre-outs (front, rear and sub) front usb and aux inputs. Any other suggestions besides these two would be great. Thanks guys.

As much as I've always liked the Alpine stuff, I'd suggest going for the Kenwood! in this comparison anyways!, Just for the 5v outputs and better S/N of 105db.....2 main things for better sound quality. :)

You can also add the Eclipse cd3200 to that list aswell. 5 volt preout with usb and built in bluetooth.

mdass - can you adjust the backlighting to red on that model Alpine

nope backlighting on this is blue. But I got to tell u, the sound quality is absolutely amazing. I don't even need my 4 channel amp anymore. This deck puts out 18 watts RMS good enough for "slightly" upgraded 5 x 7's. lol
