Will,
Thanks for the info. This unfortunate that Pioneer CD decks are known to
fail. I guess though when I buy a new CD player at Besy Buy/Cicuit City the
extended 3 year warranty will be well worth it. I already blew out 4 Pioneer
speakers(both fronts and rear) in my 'non-amplified' truck, and they only
lasted 1 1/2 years. Now I am running Polks all the way around and love them.
I wish I had more 1.5 din options, but I just like how the 1.5 din decks
looks. Oh well. Thanks again for the input.
Kyle
