dose anyone here own the alpine deck mentioned in the title? if so is it a good deck? any pro's or con's?

 

I don't own this particular Alpine deck, but, my dad has an Alpine deck in his van that is probably 9 or 10 years old, and it still going strong. I mean, things are just now starting to go strange (volume control sometimes turns down when you go to first turn up, LCD screen dimming, but that's all usual).

I would reccommend Alpine.

 

I've got the 9885 and it's a great unit. I wish I had known the 9887 was coming out, I'd have waited for it for the extra features.

 

I have the 9857, basically last years model of the 9887 and I love it, I will never own another brand deck again. Alpine all the way in anything I put a deck in.

 

alpine doesn't make a bad product, they are not my favorites, but I have friends who swear by them

 

Alpine makes the best decks out there, remember....you never hear any rap singers saying that they're bumping to their Kenwood, or Pioneer. Alpine is the only company that I know of that still sell replacement parts to repair decks that are 20 years old.

 

well after blowing my kenwood deck, I think this is the one im going to go with. any other closing notes?

 

Don't think....go....buy you won't be sorry.

 

i have the 9870. i had it for a month and i love it. clear sound, ipod hookup and bluetooth hookup on it.

 

i just put in my new Alpine CDE-9881 and i love it. Beats my old Sony deck lol

 

i have a CDA-9885 with HD box and i must say its such a good dex i always use alpine for my cars currently looking for a new camaro =)

 

Alpine all the way for me. I plan on buying a 2007 CD deck as soon as the 08 models come out because they will be cheaper. Im trying to located a CDA 9856 as we speak. If I have ANY advice to give, its to STAY AWAY from the decks with that slide glide button crap. They are notorious for not working

 

i had a 9856 and it was stolen but man it was such a great HU

 

It really depends on what you want it for. Overall it is a rather good deck, but the ipod interface is less than desirable and some of the features are difficult to find. If you are looking for something with a nice ipod interface, pioneer probably has the best one i have found so far. For an extra hundred or so you can get the pioneer 7900BT which has bluetooth built and a much easier ipod interface. If you are not worried so much about the extra bells and whistles like ipod and bluetooth, its a good buy for the money.
