Kale, did you ever pick a HU?
I would IM this, but IM doesn't appear to be working right now.
Wondering if you ever bought the Alpine 7897 or if you had second thoughts...

I'm going to put it in my truck for now until I can do a complete system for the truck, then the Clarion HXd10 goes in the truck (it has no internal amplifier so it cant go in now) and the alpine into the c4..

Yeah, that one is weighing on me a bit too...
I'm just trying to picture green buttons with my amber dash...I can't decide how much I'll hate it...

Re: Kale, did you ever pick a HU? (Kale)
hmm...the one I just looked at was a pretty good amber. Looked like it would match my interior really well.
I'm pretty much decided against the 7897 now. It won't fit well. It would hit my shift **** when it opens up. :(
Now I'm just debating whether I'll install the unit myself or if I'll pay the premium to buy it locally and have someone install it for me...
Unless I find another MP3 head unit I suddenly like better... :crazy:
