For the price of $650 from a authorized dealer isnt to bad considering all the options you get. Looks nice too. Here is the actual link to the whole site. Looks they got it up today. http://www.alpine-usa.com/ |

walter84 Unregistered guest | Look like they got rid of that stupid glide touch. only reason why i didnt buy the 9855 and didnt buy any of the lower 2005 models. |

walter84 Unregistered guest | i took a better look at it. i was all happy about the 9857. but i am nolonger happy. they put 2v pre apps on it. man alpine is really starting to go down the drain. i think the best head unit they came out with was the 9835. |

Anonymous | The most disgusting fact about the new 2006 Alpine headunits is that all but the $1600 one now lack the time correction and parametric equalisation engine. This feature was the reason why most '2004 and '2005 Alpine headunits were just SUPERIOR to the ones from any other manufacturer on the same price level, but they no longer are. You will do a favour to yourself if you can get a 9855 or any previous model (9835) witn parametric eq. and time correction. These features when properly used allow to get the real juice from any car-audio system. I know because I've had the opportunity to install and ajust a lot of them. |
