Gold Member Username: Mj23dynastyThey Love 2 Hate Me, Most Hated a... USA Post Number: 1264 Registered: Oct-07 | I would like 2 get an alpine 9887 but can't seem 2 find one for any cheaper than 300. I rather get 1 from a site rather than ebay so I can get a warranty. If u guys could find me (stateprop) lol I would be gladly in debt. Or the best unit I can get for 300 I would like alpine or pioneer. IT HAS GREAT IPOD CAPABILITIES SINCE THAT'S MY MAIN SOURCE OF MUSIC!!!!!! |

Gold Member Username: Mj23dynastyThey Love 2 Hate Me, Most Hated a... USA Post Number: 1266 Registered: Oct-07 | I think I'm going to go with pioneer because the alpine unit has lots of problems with ipods "no song error" as they call it. |

|
Silver Member Username: Snowball123West Allis, WI United States Post Number: 216 Registered: Oct-07 | or the 780. |
|
Gold Member Username: Mj23dynastyThey Love 2 Hate Me, Most Hated a... USA Post Number: 1268 Registered: Oct-07 | On the crutchfield forums there is a whole thread about it I find it through google tho. I'm still debating I might just go with the alpine-ida-x001 and by a cd changer u guys reccomend any cheap cd changer that's good? |
|
Silver Member Username: Snowball123West Allis, WI United States Post Number: 217 Registered: Oct-07 | idk but i am going to be getting the 9886 soon. |
|
Gold Member Username: Big_edge_headMilwaukee, Wisconsin IF IT DOESNT... Post Number: 1276 Registered: Mar-07 | Ive heard problems with the x001 not sure what they were. lol. but i know ive read some bad things somewhere. You can get it for like 250 bucks though. I havent really looked into cd changers so i wouldnt know |
|
Silver Member Username: Snowball123West Allis, WI United States Post Number: 219 Registered: Oct-07 | id say just get an alpine off of ebay. people say that your dont even need a warranty with alpine. |
|
Gold Member Username: Mj23dynastyThey Love 2 Hate Me, Most Hated a... USA Post Number: 1269 Registered: Oct-07 | Ipod functionality is the biggest thing I'm concerned about. |
|
Gold Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 5788 Registered: Feb-06 | i still say alpine. i know several people that use ipods with alpine hus' with no problems. |
|
Gold Member Username: Big_edge_headMilwaukee, Wisconsin IF IT DOESNT... Post Number: 1280 Registered: Mar-07 | I like alpine HU's still. They have very solid controls. but overall i just like the way you can navigate through pioneers. I find it easier than alpines. JMO though. |
|
Gold Member Username: Big_edge_headMilwaukee, Wisconsin IF IT DOESNT... Post Number: 1281 Registered: Mar-07 | BTW i have pretty much the same price range that you have Dwight. Im also looking for a new HU. I still can decide between the 880,780, or 690. I have my reasons for each one but i dont feel like typing all of them. |
|
Gold Member Username: Big_edge_headMilwaukee, Wisconsin IF IT DOESNT... Post Number: 1282 Registered: Mar-07 | If ipod is your biggest concern though. Then you would probobly want to try out a new pioneer because they all have direct USB access now. the 780, and the 880 you have to buy a seperate adapter. the 690 has USB though. thats the reason its so hard for me to decide |
|
Gold Member Username: Mj23dynastyThey Love 2 Hate Me, Most Hated a... USA Post Number: 1270 Registered: Oct-07 | Ima google the problems on the ida x001 and see what they r. I remember the biggest 1 was the knob control makes navigation hard but idc about tht. But if its good ima go wit tht. The deck cosmetically is sexii. Ima tryna have the freshest whip at the NE meet I gota lota money 2 spend in the next 6 weeks lol. |
|
Gold Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 5789 Registered: Feb-06 | if wanting usb why not check out clarion. they've always made very solid hus'. |
|
Gold Member Username: Mj23dynastyThey Love 2 Hate Me, Most Hated a... USA Post Number: 1271 Registered: Oct-07 | I'm a pretty boy goin for the flahy look and I dnt like the look of any other units except alpine and pioneer mainly pioneer but I think the ida is hot. I just need to know if its compatible with the ipod touch how would I find tht. |
|
Gold Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 5790 Registered: Feb-06 | i'd say call or email alpine if you can't find that online. maybe start a thread on ca.com, they have alot more members there. maybe someone there is using a touch with one. |
|
Gold Member Username: Mj23dynastyThey Love 2 Hate Me, Most Hated a... USA Post Number: 1272 Registered: Oct-07 | I jus called alpine they say its compatiable. But ima head down to the high end car audio store after work and make sure haha shuda did tht in the first place. |
|
Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Northwest PA Post Number: 5906 Registered: Jul-06 | The 9886 is a VERY nice HU. If it had a USB port on the front I'd have bought it. And if you're worried about problems with alpines..... well, you sure don't want to try a pioneer  |
|
Gold Member Username: Mj23dynastyThey Love 2 Hate Me, Most Hated a... USA Post Number: 1273 Registered: Oct-07 | Yea I just went and checked out tha ida x001 will def be buying tht within the hour lol... my local store sucks they had it for msrp 400 bucks. |

Gold Member Username: Denali_on_22sThe kids like my rhyme... Post Number: 3796 Registered: Feb-06 | i had problems with sonicelectronix. not a fan. they told me in private message they would send EVERYTHING needed to install my in-dash, but they only sent an antenna cable. gave me negative feedback because i gave them negative feedback and threatend to sue me for giving them the negative feedback. they made me do a online mediator service in which they turned down all of my options for them to get a positive feedback and they lied blantantly on my feedback. poor customer service. not a fan of the company. |

Gold Member Username: Mj23dynastyThey Love 2 Hate Me, Most Hated a... USA Post Number: 1274 Registered: Oct-07 | Yo what's a good cheap cd changer to go with this a 2disc or 3 would be good. |
|
Silver Member Username: Snowball123West Allis, WI United States Post Number: 222 Registered: Oct-07 | whydo you need a cd changer for it? just use your ipod. and plus the cd changers are pretty expensive. |
|
Gold Member Username: Big_edge_headMilwaukee, Wisconsin IF IT DOESNT... Post Number: 1283 Registered: Mar-07 | Well what if you have a cd and you dont have it on your ipod yet. I played that alpine though. Its nice, the screen is really bright. only thing i dont like about it was the volume control, cause you cant turn it all the way around it just goes so far. |
|
Silver Member Username: Snowball123West Allis, WI United States Post Number: 223 Registered: Oct-07 | yeah i was messing with it a little at bestbuy. didnt really like it though. what volt pre-outs does it have on it anyways? |
|
Gold Member Username: Mj23dynastyThey Love 2 Hate Me, Most Hated a... USA Post Number: 1276 Registered: Oct-07 | Yea I jus ordered it 268 shipped with supposed free dash kit and wire harness. |
|
Silver Member Username: Snowball123West Allis, WI United States Post Number: 224 Registered: Oct-07 | let us know how you like it. |
|
Gold Member Username: Mj23dynastyThey Love 2 Hate Me, Most Hated a... USA Post Number: 1277 Registered: Oct-07 | It has a 2V MS said I should be good with anything more than 2 I think it was him... saz r pretty efficient anyways so I think tht signle will suffice. |
|
Gold Member Username: Big_edge_headMilwaukee, Wisconsin IF IT DOESNT... Post Number: 1285 Registered: Mar-07 | saz is very efficient |
|
Gold Member Username: Mj23dynastyThey Love 2 Hate Me, Most Hated a... USA Post Number: 1279 Registered: Oct-07 | I mean I played with it n the store from what I saw in there I liked it it a lot only con was tht the album art was kindy blurry idk y. But I just looked at a vid on youtube of 9887 it looks sick I jus dnt have the money to get the additional imprint just to control the bass and treble. |
|
Gold Member Username: Big_edge_headMilwaukee, Wisconsin IF IT DOESNT... Post Number: 1286 Registered: Mar-07 | It probobly looked blurry because the pic isnt big enough. |
|
