Pros: Its loud and clear. Its ALPINE. And the face plate angles nicely. Cons: The buttons all look the same and are almost too small.
I bought this product Dec 2000 at A & B Sound in Calgary, and have had it now for a year and a half. I was looking for a mid-range deck with a reputable name. At the time I didn’t know much about car systems but I’d heard about Alpine since I was a kid....
Pros: The Subwoofer adjustment and the memory of the motorized face. Cons: It doesn't play some CDR's But I can live with that.
This Alpine CDM-7861 is a very nice head unit. It sounds great and looks good. I bought it on Ebay and after installing it I know I really lucked up. I was very happy when I saw what they go for. I have it hooked up to a 1,000 watt 2 Channel Pyramid Amp and (2) 12" JBL's and puts out some kick a-- sounds. I love this system.
