need a little help with choosing a receiver

[muddybass 13]

i have a alpine glide touch that is pooping out so im trying to consider a new head unit for my truck... i would like it to have 3 sets of 4volt preouts and aux and usb in front also mp3 compatble. is the clarion cz401 ok? or should i go with pioneer? price range would be around 100-240

What Alpine? What do you mean by pooping?

cda-9853 glidetouch and eject isn't working properly and disc read is also messing up. Volume know turns up when i want to turn it down that kind of stuff

Ah, the units you are choosing between are quite a downgrade...but if you listen to cd's not having eject is sort of a deal breaker and I can't say I was ever enamored with the glide touch. In that price range a used Pio 880 would be the closest replacement without getting older.

a downgrade? then what HU would be about the same?

Huge downgrade. I offered a comparable used item, but to have comparable options and new you are well into $300+

Just realized that you don't have a 9856, sorry, I read your sig wrong. I personally would pick the Pioneer out of your choices.
