What are the big differences and are they even that big of a difference between the Alpine 9855 and the JVC 810.

they both have 4volt preouts and thats basically all i care about. i can get the alpine deck for like $150 more but cant justify spending that much more.

Let me know your guy's opinions on these decks.

 

anyone have an opinion?? Im assuming the alpine is better but if someone can enlighten me on the glorious difference i might spend the extra money.

 

Not to be a dick, but why can't you compare them yourself?

810 http://www.bestbuy.com/site/ol...01206 , not 820.

the reason was if you guys had any personal take on the two for ex. quality or performance.

 

In that case IMO the Alpine is a better HU and worth the extra $$$. 94

why is that all you care about? theres a lot more to a HU than the preouts. I'd be more concerned with the DAC's. I recommend actually listening to your own taste when purchasing an HU rather than someone on the net. We all have different opinions of what sounds good.

 

I had buddies w/ both alpines and jvcs. The jvc would just skip on every bump. My friend bought a cheaper alpine and he really likes it. I would go alpine anyday.

 

thanks for your guy's inputs, i'll defintely see on getting the alpine.

 

I'll say that the alpine has a cleaner sound. It a little more crisp imo. Esp there amps, I know I am vereeing off the subject. But I tested a alpine amp vs a kenwood. both were 4 channel, both were using the same speakers and both were crossed at the same points. The alpine just sounded better.

 

What about a Rockford Fosgate amp, say a P3002. Thats what i plan on using for the front Type R components.

Also, a higher dB signal to noise ratio means it has less distortion right. The JVC is 102dB and the alpine is 105dB.

Right, altough as far as I know, all over 90 db is inaudible (spel?)
