WTB: Single DIN CD head unit

[coolhandluke]

Just checking to see if anyone has a spare single DIN CD player head unit laying around that they're not using before I attempt purchasing something else of of eBay. I recently purchased a NOS mid-90's era Pioneer Premier unit off of eBay (shown below), but the sound quality is lacking and the internal amp is running a little hotter than I'd prefer.

Something that's in both good cosmetic and fully functional condition would be required. Ideally, I'd like to find a Clarion, Eclipse, Alpine, Kenwood Excelon, or Blaupunkt unit from the mid-to-late 90's or early 2000's.

I may have one. Let me look and get back to you. If I still have it it's an alpine.

I still have it. I have the box as well. It is an Alpine CDA 9827

Any reason a brand new single din won't work?

I have an older Kenwood if your interested.

Thanks for checking Randy. I think that unit is just a little more modern than what I was searching for. I really appreciate the help though.

Mainly, because the DAC's used in newer units are terrible. The modern designs also don't look great in a mid-to-late 80's car. IMO, the older matte black faced units look a little more at home in something that age.

Thanks...do you happen to know the model #?

Thanks a ton. Unfortunately, that one is a bit newer than what I was looking for as well. I really appreciate the help though.
