Ive seen the alpine tv in person. its nice. but the kenwood is better. depending if you want to have to buy the cd changer. the kenwood comes with the cd player and theres 2 alpine models, one has a cd player in it and the other you need a changer. i would pick the kenwood because it swivels side to side and up and down. the alpine doesnt. and in the center Z-dash your gonna need it to swivel to get a good angle.
