so it has a digital out (sweet!) and 8V preouts. thats the only "flashy" (pricey) options i see there.
unless it said it has a cd changer in it? either that or it CAN control one. but for 2k, it better have one.

The fiber out is sweet, and the this thing is loaded with rca outputs. 2 rca inputs, and the PLL (Phase Lock Loop) tuning circuity should make for pretty noise free operation. To rich for my blood though

Not going anywhere near the $4,000 for that deck opionion long as you like it and can afford it :<) As for installs not sure what there is available out there that would look more of a stock installation. I think the stock one looks way cleaner then anything I have seen in here so far. Is it as good obviously not. Is there any kind of kit that would be as clean as stock look? That I would be interested in hearing.

That looks pretty decent Elp hard to see without close shots any kind of instal kit there or staright deck?. I did notice
http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PU...EH-P47DH?tab=B
While I was looking around wonder if that's as flush a fit as a stock unit.
As I side note I don't remember ever saying anyones shit sucked /shrug. Think I said install looks like shit. I guess I was kinda harsh but only an opinion they're like ahoes everyone has one LOL. I probably should have said somthing along the lines of doesn't look as clean as stock /shrug live and learn.

^whats with the gap on the right side??
if you want it to look fancy and stock, you CAN pull the trim off and fiberglass a mount for it using the trim and a base plate, so it looks like its meant for that location.
or
do the "carputer" method and have a 7" touchscreen in place of the double din radio. we used to have several members w/ those but i think they've all moved on to bigger, better things. (other cars)

Our lovely cars trim ring sucks. Its angled and curved... Unless your unit sites perectly flush and fills the entire holes theres going to be a gap (double din). Single dins are always going to have the fit kits.
A member on my board worked at a place selling McIntosh during the hay days (back in early/mids 90's). He said the 4000 combo was going from about $3,200-4K. But he lives in a rich area... so who knows.
Theres little info out there on it, and even less on how it operates and such. Just the other day an MX4000 was on E bay. Went for $300. Just didnt have the MDA4000 with it, making the MX useless...
With Head Units its all about design circuitry and processing.
Also note double dins are not very popular and there really isnt any "good" ones, IMO.
Get a decent head and get a good fit kit and be happy. I advise American international fit kits.

Just looks old and outdated to me.. why use that over a new piece? Don't the new ones have far more features and power?

I have an AVIC D3 sitting around and it looks like it will fit the Alero just fine (there is a dash kit for the double-din size too.
My TNR definitely looks a bit bigger than the AVIC and it fits for the most part (the bottom right edge barely overlaps the display.
sorry, no good daytime pics.
