New Alpine 7874, rice??? - Page 2 - Honda Prelude Forum

Not to flame, but what kinda *** question is this? Who cares if the head unit has orange lighting to match your car. A radio is a radio. They all do the same thing...

BoYgUaN · 02-27-2002, 10:36 PM

yes a radio is radio but with more options u can make a radio sound 2x better

kyle5574 · 02-27-2002, 10:38 PM

I think the color will match. I was looking at the manual and on page 16 it says that the unit will display error messages in plain English with at least 8 characters, so it might have CD-TEXT. If it does, you just found me a HU that will match the interior colors I like so much and I'm grateful

I checked Circuit City and their website says it does. I'll go check in person tomorrow. If I get it, I'll have to figure out where to mount my rev/speed meter though

You've gotta keep those wheels...they look so nice

BoYgUaN · 02-27-2002, 10:58 PM

i got a question for you...does your like stop playing when you go over streetcar tracks? mine does

BoYgUaN · 02-27-2002, 11:17 PM

clean the lense. mine never did that but you should reset it ever once in a while. i got my cd stuck before and i just reset it and it works fine.

i dont see many people with a radio like mine cuz its $$$ and doesnt even work without amps

Shukuchi_SH · 02-27-2002, 11:25 PM

I love all of your HU's!!! Especially BluexLude and BoyGuan

I'm deciding between those.

BoYgUaN · 02-27-2002, 11:31 PM

mine was a older model. it was last years. new it is 650 and use your looking at 400. good luck finding 1. i love my tooo much to trade for a new ungly 1. once they come out with a in dash detachable face dvd player ill ditch it

just fyi, peace

do diffrent HU's really matter? i thought it was just personal preference. i'm getting ready to buy a HU and i was just gonn get a plain HU so my system wouldn't look so attractive to thieves.

Circuit City's website said it did, but I went there tonight to check it out and I couldn't get it to display any with any of the discs I've made that have it encoded. It also didn't appear to have a high-enough resolution display to show it correctly. The other Alpines that had CD-TEXT said so on the HU itself, but not the 7874. What's your source?

I like the unit though. It was on sale for $179.99 US at Circuit City and I would have bought it without a second thought if it had CD-TEXT. The colors would have matched perfectly. Good call

nice decks

ameoba · 03-01-2002, 12:06 AM

i put a nakamichi head in mine, sounds incredible and looks stock almost, lights up amber, just like the stock stereo, and the sound is to spoo over, i will sit in my car and listen to it...

ameoba · 03-01-2002, 12:10 AM

oh yeah, the problem with nakamichi, a plain cd player, no frills is still like $400, ebay it htough and you can get it for cheap.. its well worth the money though, in the pictures they light up green, the lower models, but they are amber, same as guages, same as clock and factory radio.. people alwaays ask if it came with it stock.. so if youw ant a low profile, there it is.

BoYgUaN · 03-01-2002, 01:06 AM

nakamichi high end stuff. you can get a 6 disc in dash cd changer in the stock radio and still have the pocket

Eclipse used to be great until they had quality control problems. I have an older model Alpine CDA7832, and although it isn't the flashiest in the world, i believe the sound quality is as good as the ones made today (3 outs, 4v outputs wtih gold plating)
