I think that's last year's model. Some have changed in design since then.

Boooo....

alpines new decks are s***.... well for audiophiles..

for some reason you cant get 4v preouts spending under 700$ now with alpine.

I mean, I'm a diehard alpine guy. I've got their top of the line decks for 4 years straight now.

but their new line is making me think of eclipse.

Ive Had... the CDA 7977, 7995, 9815, 9835 and 9855.

i'm talking 2006 alpine...


If you notice, theyre trying to ramp up sales on their DVD headunits. not only the dvd screen decks...

So this year... you cannot get a regular CD/HU. w/4v preouts and biolite for under 700$

even the base dvd decks dont come with 4v preouts, which should be standard now.


If you look at their Indash DVD H/U line. theyve eliminated their top end D90x series. and their top end model is the D310. Same headunit released 3 years ago. and it has gone through little to no improvment. and to top that off they've released 2 in dash screens which are cheaper but have the same technology as their low end decks 2 years ago.

Alpine doesnt seem like they want to make high end product anymore, Theyre pushing garbage now, in order to make sales.

No no I'm in a sense agreeing with you. Just I won't buy any HU's anymore. No need really. I just will prolly end up with signal processors, in which case alpine still makes some gooders.

I hope so I've always like the sq from alpine, just their decks were always kinda fugly. But I liked the 9835 so I bought it. I'm just hoping they keep the SQ and build quality they have from the past. I don't want alpine to turn into sony.
