i'm setting up a new sound system for my car and my price range is about 700-900.

these are some of the head units i'm considering:


alpine cda - 9884
alpine cda - 9886
sony mex-bt5000
pioneer deh-p6000ub


people have told me good things about alpine head units and the other two were highly rated on cnet and are also in the price range.

i'm looking for ipod capability and bluetooth, mp3


also i need enough outs to run the rest of the sound system

tentative sound system:
2 re audio se10 10" subs
hifonics bxi1608d mono class d amp 1600w
infinity reference speakers


only thing i've bought so far is the infinity speakers


rest i got price quotes and such.

should i stick with the alpine head unit or would the blue tooth in the sony be more worthwhile and will my system suffer if i opt for a non alpine headunit?



any input would be much appreciated


thanks

You probably bought one already but if you didnt you could go with a eclipse 3200 its got a higher preamp out than the other units. Skip a sony cd player.
