Alpine CDA-7998R

Introduced in 2002, Alpine CDA7998R was rated as top of the range HU, just a wee bit below CDA7990 aka #F1 status (which retailed for $3999au from memory). Personally, I think its one of the best HU come out from Alpine. One if the very few built on copper plated chassis.

For those whore into cosmetics, youd love the XL sized FantomFace interface and unique motorized mechanism automatically put the face plate behind an inconspicuous face plate the moment you leave your vice versa.

For entry and mid level ICE, you cant go wrong with this one. Built in with 3-way digital crossover, 6-channel digital time correction, optical digital output, base engine pro etc. give you plenty of tuning point to optimise your setup.

Even now, this 7998R can still do wonders and giving the new age HU a run for their money. And because it has aged, its has become one of the best bargain if you can sourced good used unit. Just be wary of the motorised faceplate.
