Alpine Cde-9486 Mp3 Cd Player - Oscar The Grouch - 03-18-2006 Alpine CDE-9486 MP3 CD Player Great little CD/MP3 Player. Put it in 2 days ago to replace my old Pioneer DEH-1300. I was looking for a standard CD player that could play MP3 cds. Didn't care about flip screens or funky visuals. Pros: - Plays MP3's and CD's - Awesome Equalizer - 1 pre out, all you need if you want a basic sub setup. - Nice display i guess - Cost, got it on sale for 200.00 plus tax - Detachable faceplate. - RMS output is 16w, compared to 14w on my old Pioneer i believe. - Safer overall since you aren't changing CD's as often. Cons: - Plug on Pioneer and Alpine not the same at the back of the headunit, would be nice to have a standard plug instead of rewiring. - No fancy display, just LCD wording. - Faceplate is big and bulky when detached. - No WMA, Ogg, or MP4 support. Overall, good MP3 player. Sounds much better than my old Pioneer DEH-1300. If you're looking to replace your stock unit for a basic MP3 player at a low cost, I'd recommend going with this unit.
