Hey guys, my 7998R is for sale, as im going to go to a double din av unit for the new car.
Looking for $600. I have a receipt from just over 12 months ago for 1599.
I have just had the display replaced under warranty, apart from that never had any hassles. Fantastic unit, if it had dvd playback there is no way i would get rid of it !

Any takers ?


The CDA-7998r CD receiver is a system-builder's dream come true! This MP3-playing Alpine has top-quality power supply and output capacitors for ultra-pure sound, plus gold-plated 4-volt preamp outputs that deliver a hot, clean signal to your amps and subs. (Component amps are required with this receiver — it doesn't have an internal amp).

The FantomFace XL faceplate is 30% larger than other single-DIN-sized receivers, but it takes up no more room in your dash. It's fully motorized (even the rotary control knob), and disappears when you power down, leaving nothing but a plain black panel to confound thieves.

Alpine's best and brightest BioLite® display will keep you "in-the-know" under any lighting condition. Its high-resolution graphics will amaze and amuse you. And switchable green or amber button illumination gives you more options to match your dash lighting.

Tone shaping possibilities are extensive. The Bass Engine® Pro section puts a 5-band parametric equalizer, 6-channel digital time correction, a 6-position crossover, plus subwoofer phase and level controls at your command.

Is your music sounding a little flat and lifeless? The remarkable Media Expander™ re-energizes MP3s, CDs, FM and XM Radio with three levels of enhancement — choose the one that pleases your ear.

Computer users can take advantage of Alpine's exclusive i-Personalizeâ„¢ feature. Surf on over to Alpine's website, and you can create customized Bass Engine setups as well as a 3-line text greeting, burn the info to a disc, and upload it onto the CDA-7998!

what is a bass engine setup?

its just alpines way of allowing you to control EQ etc
in a nutshell

"Alpine’s Bass Engine® feature lets you adjust the centerpoints of your treble and bass controls so you can really shape your tone."

Cmon guys, its cheap and im my opinion still the best h/u alpine ever made

Yeah, unless you like putting top of the line audio in your daily driver!
