Strengths:
It has a Great Tape Player. I like the Digtal Settings it has. I has a Great FM tuner i drive a lot into differnt areas with differnt Radio stations and it can pick up a lot of Stations.

Weaknesses:
I Wish it had a Scan Button for the Radio. That is one thing i do find to be a bit distracting when i drive into anther area with different Stations i have to hit the Seek non stop. and I dont like the Dap settings.

Summary:
I Got this Alpine Stereo For my 1992 Toyota Tercel. It had a really poor Factory Radio and it also was a 2 Speaker System. I added Back speakers and replaced the Front speakers and it sounds Great and it looks better i think it adds vaule to the car when i sell it anyone that buys it will like the good stereo.

Strengths:
Has good sound quality, can pick up radio stations better than other radio's I've owned. Has never ate a tape!

Weaknesses:
needs 3 FM's instead of 2 and the D. A. P. feature isin't very convenient. I would rather have the model with the graphic equalizer

Summary:
Alpine is very good quality, unfortunately I haven't had the chance to use an Alpine CD player but they claim that they don't skip. I would recomend this to anybody that still has a lot of tapes laying around and it can be expanded with a CD shuttle if you want to spend the money. Overall the system works great and I have never had any problem with it.
