Please keep in mind, though, that not all of us can afford to sink a large amount of moolah into our truck. For me, I have two kids in college and have had to spend some money on some home repairs...I did get a Pioneer(4900) and it does do the job nicely, for what I want it to do and what I expect it to do. No surpises---I knew it wasn't the Rolls Royce of car stereos, but it is a nice upgrade fromthe OEM radio.

While some people can sink large sums of money into their truck (and I have no problem with that---others have a more limited (dare I say realistic) budget and have to work within those confines. While I would love to spend a few thouand on upgrades, I do have other priorities, so a Pioneer (Please) is all I need and all I can afford.

My truck is simply that---it gets me nicely from point A to point B and hauls the stuff I need to haul. It has a nice stereo-- not a dream stereo, but afterall, it is my truck, not my living room.

Just my two cents worth,

Tim C.

people dont realize that you pay for the NAME brand. All of the great stuff that no one has ever heard of is price comparitive if not better priced. ED ID Re FI SI Rainbow just to name a few. They all have products that are priced evenly or less than what i carry in store and sound WAY better!

Well, Guys i'm still around... just be living in all the audio forums lately..

I'm still not happy with this audio system, even after my last rebuild...

So, here we go again... but i'm not going to play with it this time.

still have everything I had and
been picking up a few more things, like...

Rainbow Cal26Ti
Rainbow Profi Kicks
Rainbow Profi V Plugs
Rainbow Profi Plugs
Eclipse XA4000
Eclipse XA2000
Alpine MRP-M850 got 2 of these
Batcap 800
PPI DCX-730 Processor
60GB Ipod Video

still looking for a AC Epicenter bass management and maybe a set of Rainbow MR100 Profi midranges

not sure what all going in yet, but if I think I may need it or want to test it out, I'll have it handy...

whats left over, I'll sell.....
