ive got a pioneer deh 6600 with a 4 channel fosgate 4004, and a alpine mono mrp-m350 pushing a fosgate 210 10" sub. sounds like what you want to setup basicly. as said earlier, the sound comes from the amps, so get a head unit for the features you require, price , and your asthetics, you have to look at it all the time, not us

 

i personally think either is a good choice. id base my decision on what your looking for in the head unit. do you really need features that the alpine will come with or do you just want something simple. ive personally ran alpine, pioneer, kenwood, clarion, sony. my sony faceplate quite working and i had to use the remote after about 7 months. pioneer and kenwood look really nice and work well. alpine has a bunch of different features and id recomend it to someone who wants lots of control. my current clarion is great and doesnt skip or do anything i dont want it to do and is going on almost 2 years strong.

 

this post is kinda old.

 

I personally have faith in pioneer headunits and components but their subs (from what i understand) aren't worth crap. I have heard some really crazy alpine subs though. A friend had 2 12" competition type e's and they hit harder than any sub i've heard. Standing a car length away you would feel your lungs shaking and your eardrums rattling.

 

Pioneer rules

 

Both are pretty good, I personally like alpine better for a few reasons. I haven't really been head unit shopping in awhile, but I know that the preamp voltage on alpine used to be superior to pioneers (I think it was 4.0 V vs 2.5 V) That makes a pretty big difference in sound quality with or without an amp. So thats certainly something I'd pay attention to. If you like being able to tweak just about everything with the sound in your car I know alpine head units offer a variety of stuff to adjust. Just my 2 cents

 

pioneer has quite a bit of tuning capabilities too. The one that i have has two equalizers, you can set the sub level output in hertz, and its got a few other things you can do also along with the normal stuff like hi's, low's, mid's, bass, and treble. Don't get me wrong i like anything loud enough to wake the neighbors up with and maybe get the cops called. I'm not really sure which version headunit i have. All i know is that it has the matrix screen, the one with the cars racing and stuff.
