i have always been a headstrong pioneer owner, but wow, after seeing how alpine has redesigned their '05 headunits, i am seriously considering saving, reserving, and switching to one of these beauties....they arent TOP OF THE LINE audiophile head units, but they'll get the job done in a 10 year old honda....

both of these will be released in mid january, the cool thing is they are satellite radio ready, either XM or SIRIUS ( to sirius), so you can choose and still have control through the HU....

again, the internals are pretty much the same, but it's the SLEEK new designs that i thought was alpine's weakness over others.....proved me wrong

9847


9851

 

I like the 9851 on the bottom. How much do you know?

 

i use to be a die hard pioneer fan too. but i've always had interest in alpine. i just bought my first alpine unit a month ago, the 9833

 

omg ..where did alpine hire their designer?

the pre cda-98xx series headunits were the shiz.

alpine dug a deeper hole this time

 

I just bought an Alpine Cva-1005 and Alpine DVA-5205

 

I have a 9831 and it kicks! You can also but an interface for an iPod.

 

That's the reason I love alpine. They're simple, yet still look nice. I absolutely HATE all the multicolored headunits w/ flashing lights and screensavers and all that riceboy ugly crap. I also still like the rotary **** over the push buttons for volume Amen to simple nice looking headunits.

Top of the line equipment
alpine

 

which models are these two replacing?

 

These will be replacements for head units in the 04 lineup. My fav alpine i've seen, or owned so far, is my 9815 from 03. for 2 line display so I can see song title, and artist at the same time when i'm listening to my XM.

 

I love my 9815 but those new models are looking great.

I agree I like decks that don't have all the friviless crap attached.

 

I've been loving Alpine head units, I have a 7995, but need to upgrade to something that'll support the iPod box. Do you know if either of those two will have the more powerful DC-DC converter for the RCA pre-outs?

 

i like the 9851. always like alpine products

 

ok well it's official....i'm now an alpine fan....

i anted up and bought one

alpine cda-9835 AND i have the sirius tuner that plugs into the ai-net port

awesome product, i doubt i ever look back

 

when exactly are these being released? Looks WONDERFUL! Always have loved alpine units

 

Eclipse cd8454 owns all...

 

the cda9847 pretty much replaces the cda9825 @ the 199.99 -price point.

the cda9851 sorta replaced the cda9830@ $280.
