As above. To go with jl 6.5 xr's and 300/2 amp. Do you think i should use the alpine or the sony?

 

Im using a Alpine CDA-9853r, and think its pretty good, so id say stick with Alpine!

 

I think you should wait 3-4 weeks for the new Alpine range to be released....thats what i'm doing.....I have the JL XR's and a 500/5
The new range also has direct/faster control/connection for ipod's as well.
This is what my Alpine Dealer advised this week

 

Got a 9855r already but not too keen on it being silver. Was thinking of a change to Sony or a Becker but dont knbow if i can use my ipod with the becker.

 

The new Alpine CDE-9850Ri has the full speed Ipod connection with no additional boxes like the KCA-420I you must be using with the 9855R and your Ipod. If the model number has i at the end then its full speed otherwise any 2006 models which are ??A-????R still need to use the KCA-420i box. So I don't think you'll see any improvements in speed with what you are already using.

Take a look at www.alpine-europe.com

Speed isnt really the issue. Sound quality is and i'm not keen on putting a silver headunit into the scoob as it'll stand out like a sore thumb! Anyone want to buy a 9855r? (not the best sales pitch ever!)

 

Alpine unit now sold and looking for a new headunit. Any suggestions? Was thinking of a becker indianapolis.....
