Pioneers Are good units. That would be my second choice. The Alpine I have in the Ranger, which I took out of the Silverado, put into the Neon, then into the ranger I have now, I haven't had problems as far as breaking. I just think the way they have their controls is a pain compared to the other 2.

I like the sound of my engine as well. But this stuff also helps with keeping the music to sound better as well I believe Keeps it in the car, Plus I will get the ceramic for heat as well. You can feel the heat in my car coming from the engine bay. And protects the floor from getting corroded.
