i was comparing head units for my new system and i was wondering what everyone thought between these two: alpine cda-9835 (or 9855 when it comes out) and the pioneer premier DEH-P860MP. which is better? which one would everyone choose? anything at all, thanks!

Each one is very good. I think the 9855 only has 2 volt preamp outs, i dont remember and im too lazy too check but if u are adding amps then that becomes a factor. the 9835 has 4 volt preamp outs and the Pioneer premier has 6 volt. I would say go w/ alpine because they are better than Pioneer but I like the Pioneer decks and I've heard that Alpine HUs do not have treble and bass controls which kinda sux.

You can custom set the EQ as well. Also the 9851 and below have more conventional bass/treble controls I believe.
