Can you guess what it is?.....

 

yes its a giraffe.

 

WRONG! It's alpine newest CD player! The 2005 Alpine CDA 9855 :D

 

its a cool cd player but its gonna give you a headache trying to figure out how to use it

 

Yeah I played with one at Best Buy in the store. It's very cool with the touch strip and stuff, but I didn't find it particularly intuitive. Alpine's are sweet as hell, but I'm saving my pennies for a CDA 9835

 

that's a fun headunit to mess around with. it's sort of hard to navigate thru it.. but once you get used to it.. it's easy.

 

thats the CD player i was gunna get before i fell in love with te 05 Eclipses..

 

ya i normally cant stand alpine how they work but they usally sound nice

 

Nice...

Feel the burn in your wallet...

 

i'm sorry

all the alpines this year w/ the flip faces have been crap....

hope u got a warranty,...

my buds had 3 of them already

 

what went wrong?

bad install?

stolen

just playin broke?

 

bad quality build from alpine

my bud works for my audio/video place...so he knows his stuf

every alpine deck with the tilt screen he's sold has come back for rapairs...

the motors are crap this year, alpine knows this, and next year will put in newer, different ones

good thing my old trusty cda-9811 player is still A-OK

 

I work for alpine advant we had a recall so you can mail that to my "office" in my basement, I will make sure the box comes back.

 

i second that statement

alpine has never mass produced before like they have now. Now that best buy carries them they have alot more product to produce than before so their flawless designs are going bye bye its now about how many they can make in the shortest amount of time

 

they went to a different build house, dont remember where but 1st gen alpines with moto screen sucked, they had shops send them back and now have a 2nd gen i believe out but i would be weary buying from sdome places on ebay that might be selling them for like new

 

always go thru a certified Alpine dealer...

the store has to pass a test to be able to sell the product and offer u the warranty, so when u're local sound shop is charging a bit more, and is certified, go with it...

i sent my alpine 9811 off for some "work" hahahahaha, and they did it free of charge for me....and i was even out of warranty....

theres perks man

 

I have the cda-9811 also and love it, other than the nominal frequency settings.

 

i had my alpine sent off for work

they installed a new flip face motor (just in case) and they up'd my pre amp to a Bass Engine Pro, so mine's not the average 9811

 

Real sweet, especially for free!

 

true true

i could tell a world of difference in my bass before and after...

 

My sweet SoundStream amp does the bass controlling, and great at it.

 

My friend just got the 9835 in the mail yesterday and got installed this morning. I looks cool, but I haven't seen much else of it. He also got an Infinity 1211a and 2 kappa perfect 12s. We're puttin them in tomorrow...err...today.
