Head Unit Question

This really has nothing to do with the F-150, but I know you guys, like me, don't like leaving stock things alone! Im looking at a head unit/system in the very near future. Im going to get the head unit now and probably 1 10" sub and then speakers for the doors (I have a non-audiophile system). Im looking at the Alpine CDA-9833 head unit. For about $400, it seems like a sweet unit and I know it is hard to beat Alpine. Anyone have any thoughts otherwise? I'm hoping to get some thing purchased this weekend so I can start designing my install kit. Anyone know where to get a wiring harness kit that will work the first time? Thanks.

If you order from www.soundomain.com, they'll give you the wiring harness and installation kit for free.

Have an alpine, different than you want. I got the schosche install kit and wiring kit. I know that circuit city has the direct connect kit to the alpine. I would look at the musicmooseaudio.com two ten enclosers before deciding on 1 ten.
