Alpine CDA-9855R

Areet!

Im swapping my standard headunit earlier than expected, I really cant stand it. Got my eyes on the Alpine in the title and this is the cheapest place i've found it- Here (Does anyone know of cheaper places?)

Just interested in your opinion on these type of units and/or other recommendations.

Thanks

Same price, but better availability Used both places before. Did have a little bother with caraudiosecurity, but they soon sorted it. CAD had no problems with at all

You can't really go wrong with Alpine.

Ditto the comments above the alpine units are brill. I'm selling my CDA-9833 now. Costs £300 new, its like new with all the packaging etc...

Its actually got more features than the one your looking at i think, i know its got a 4x60w internal amp.

Why are you both selling then??!!!! lol

Thanks for the replies I really want a new unit and dont like the idea of buying used electrical stuff (Call me a snob/whatever ) Ive found a website that sells the CDA-9855R for £279.99 - Audio 66. I'd never heard of these before yesterday, has anyone bought from these before?

Also what are your opinions on Pioneer units e.g. the DEH-P8600MP

Thanks again

Don't get pioneer, the way the facia fits is very prone to breaking. I have already had to remanufacture the holding pins as they wear down very quickly

Alpine all the way, I ain't selling!

Them must have too much cash!

Even though i only bought mine a less than 2 months back, im wanting to upgrade it. Since i listen to the radio alot, im after a DAB one, i would get the alpine add on but it costs nearly as much as the head unit itself.

Probably after £220 for mine. Maybe open to offers. Its in mint condition.

I'm selling my 9812 because I picked up a brand new 7944r (the successor to the CD-MAX) which was Alpines competition spec head unit a while ago (no onboard amp, copper chassis, 3 pair 4v preouts, the list goes on!).

Ive ordered one from www.Audio66.com should be here monday. I messed up putting my card details in over the net and about 10 mins after that I had a phone call from them trying to sort it out! So they seem organised- I'd never heard of the company before and didnt know what to expect.

While im here, can anyone recommend a nice sub that will go with a 600W RMS Alpine Mono amp at 2ohms? (This amp)

Been looking at a 2ohm Kicker sub at 159.99 that will cope with 600RMS, but if there are other cheaper subs that have the same handling id like to know!!

Cheers
