First of all let me say that Ive always been a big fan of Alpine. However,today has really pissed me off. I went into Best Buy to have them install a new cd player for me on Sunday. Hours later,my speakers in all my doors went out. So then I take it back in and they say all my speakers were blown! Im like "WHAT" so after an hour or so of workin on my car it turned out to be a bad apline deck. So we exchange it out for a new one and THEN I get home and the back button doesn't work. So needless to say im very dissapointed with Alpine right now because Ive always been a big fan. Thinking about switching to Pioneer? Good or Bad move?

Blame Best buy...not Alpine...but idk...i've had pioneer, sony , and alpine. My alpine HU is the best by FAR. So did the speakers really blow or did they just not work!?

wow. you got two bad radios from a store that has car audio employees who usually know very little, and you are ready to quit all alpine radios. Find a better car audio shop. If that is no good I have a Dual radio, roadmaster walmart speakers, and audiobahn chrome subs and amps for you!

The alpine didn't blow the speakers. It turned out that the amp inside the alpine wasn't working properly. I have to go back in to get a new one (being my 3rd) in a matter of 1 week. Not sure why these things aren't working properly. Like I said i love apline. Maybe its just my luck...

I had a friend that had some Alpine equipment and granted they are a good brand, I prefer MTX myself. Pioneer is a good choice though for good quality at a good price.

We're talking about Best Buy installers here....... so...... it's gotta be the radio, right?
