Anyone got this stereo? Any thoughts?

Im thinking of getting one to use mainly with my IPOD video.

Very nice HU. Some people find the GlideTouch a PITA though.

Loads of features for the money too

I have anAlpine HU never given me a seconds problem so good choice
Why don't you pop down to the welsh car show and have a look around the local stand have a car entry ticket if you want :yum:, will still have to pay to get in the show ground though, but your car would be on the forum stand and you could stay there all day and work deals with other people

I have this head unit and think its easy to work and glide touch aint as bad as everyone makes it out to be, mainly use mine for the ipod connectivity which is top

They're only 2V though, but its nice to have 3, especially if you are running an active setup

I know of no Alpine that has 5V. The 9855, 9812, 9861Ri all have 4V.

so is not very good having just a 2v preout? or will it still be fine?

Back OT.

I find the later Alpines sound a little bright, depending on the speakers you're running and / or if you're amping the signal, this can be almost unbearable after a while.

Try and audition a few different brands and see which suits you.

2v is fine, don't worry about it.

The voltage doesn't really matter - it's definately not a deciding feature when shopping for a HU
