Just thought I would let everyone know that after Sounddomain.com does a 105% price match guarantee the Alpine S630 is $173. If you are interested do a search for the S630 on dealtime.com and it should find you a price of 174.90 then have sounddomain.com do the price beat deal, you come up with a great price for an Alpine CD-Changer.

The only thing you are not aware of their not an authorized alpine dealer, therefore your warranty is oonly valid at soundomain......... Just food for thought. I am in the business and I don't know how you can support a mail order facility when your local authorized dealer that can give you personalized service is forced out of business. For what? to save a few bucks!
This price is so close to cost no one is making any money. Just remeber you can't get anything good for nothing.

Not to be argumentative but that’s truly business. When it’s something like this "Plug and Play" and its Alpine I don’t expect to need more then a low price. Saving money is something we all try to do. Do we change the oil in our own cars...why can’t we install our own CD-Changer? Again, not trying to start an argument but this board has saved people so much money; I was only trying to help a fellow DIY'er. I'm sorry if it offended you, or AW else. I understand your point of view and respect it but paying $220 for the changer and $100 for the MBZIL and $150 to have it installed would have cost me nearly $230 extra...in my book that’s a little more then a few bucks. If it were anything more then Plug and Play the FIRST place I would have gone is Ovation Audio Video...a local car audio specialty shop...but since I could do it myself then why not?

Thanks,
Brad

I wasn't implying that you couldn't perform the installation yourself, your local authorized dealer can sell you the parts. I help people every day both online and at my place of business that are capable of doing the install themself n/c. The other thing I have seen is they pay one of these online outfits and what do you know? one of the items is on back order and the order doesn't ship for a week or two . These are things that are of concern to some people that have experienced such problems.
