I didn't even have my TB a week before I ditched the craptory radio for my alpine 9857 and ipod. This was the only deck that I owned that had a cd player that didn't skip with bass. I swore that if the deck ever skipped, it was going to get upgraded. Fast forward 7 and a half years to a month or so ago, and it happened. Time for a change.
I went with the pioneer 80prs based on numerous reviews that I had seen on audio forums. Some people said that if you weren't using the network mode that it wasn't worth the cost, but I didn't care. It has a lot of features that I probably will never use like bluetooth and time alignment but has some things that I do use like having dual usb ports. Plus I matched the key color to the red leds and the display color to the odometer so it matches the rest of the interior at night.
When I swapped decks I had to find its max unclipped volume and reset the amp gains. I got the smd dd-1 since I saw it go head to head with scopes that cost 30x more then my velleman. The dd-1 is boss. This isn't a paid testimony or anything but for dialing in decks and amps I won't go back to the scope.
Anyway it's still kinda weird getting in the TB and not seeing my trusty Alpine chilling in the dash. My audio system has been changed a half a dozen times but the deck stayed the same. I've made some other changes to the TB that will get their own thread once I get all the pics together.
