alpine glide touch is no good....they stopped using it now on the new models

I'd go with the Eclipse, personally thats what im gonna be switching to. I currently have a JVC S790 and i'll be upgrading to a Eclipse CD-5000, which should prove to be a big difference.

Don't do that Alpine.

I don't get why everyone likes Eclipse. Look at the rms power for that, Walmart brands put out more than that. I have a kenwood KDC X689, and it puts out 22x4. I like it.

 

[Deviant Mini]

out of those 2 i would choose the eclipse

Your Kenwood puts out NO WARE near 22W RMS per-channel if compared evenly to the Eclipse. The Eclipse is much more realistic about it's power out.
