ATTN!!! : ALPINE CDA-117 on the CHEAP!

[swagger_wagon468 53]

so... i was at BestBuy the other day. just looking. and came across the cda-117. ive always liked the look of the unit and the fact that it has 4v pre-outs...

well, i looked at the price and it said $177 clearance. (this means once they are out... they're out) so get it while you can!

i was like WHAT!?!

so i bought it on an impulse buy. lol. its about #50 from Crutchfield. and lowest i can find is about @285 from an UN-authorized dealer.

SO... if you guys are looking for a nice HU on the cheap, go snatch this up!

i was honestly gonna buy the other 2 they had when i got my paycheck and resell for profit... but the were gone. (2days later.)

anyways, just wanted to let ya guys know.

im installing it tomorrow hopefully.

ill post pics tomorrow as well.

nice heads up man... I'll be checking the local best buys and see if I like the feel of it...

Yep, been on clearance for a little while now. I never had a single one sold in my store. Not everyone that comes into Best Buy is gonna want to pay 300 bucks for a radio.

I just installed one of these along with the pxa-h100 Friday. Got a good deal, but not this good.

It sucks you have to spend another $100 to be able to run active now, but I decided I wanted a new unit with warranty and USB instead of buying a used one.......... so it is what it is I guess.

As for the HU, I really like it so far. SQ is really very good.

Yea I can't wait to install mine. Although I will be running passive for now. I like the rear usb vs front that way I can hide my ipod in the glove box. and 4v pre-outs are always nice.

[swagger_wagon468 53]

Just finished the install. And wow! What a sound quality difference! Is it the 4v pre-outs that make that much of a difference!???
