ive been reading around and have heard alot of people complaining about the 9855, but after reading alittle more i guess it was only the earlier models made b4 arpil 2005? but im still hesitant to get one...ne one know if the newer ones still present the same problem, and if i should get the 9853...which by the way is much cheaper at my local apline dealer...the only thing that doesnt look good to me on the 9853 is the fact that the front and rear pre outs are only 2 volts and the sub is 4 volts(good) but is the 2 volt difference between the front and rear preouts on the 9813 and 9815 a big deal?
