Thinking of getting a new headunit?
Hey everyone, I went to Best Buy today & looked at a few new headunit & they had this one Alpine that stood out of the crowd & I fell in love. But can anyone tell me if this is nice or not & any more info. on it?

I don't think that link is working, but it is the Alpine CDA-9853...

no, dont get that one
the display is the 2nd choice pick, theres the organic EL display that's much nicer
also, if u'll remember in a previous post i made, the Alpine's this year have been crap...wait untill next year or find a little older model alpine...the motors on the flip open screens continuously break...
alpine WILL fix this in the next model year...

i got the type s subs, 2 10"ers
they affordable and GREAT, u can "upgrade" to type r, but it wont hit as many notes as s...then theres the sledghammer type X, highly expenisive, but worth it
true , u may have a warranty, but what happens when u continuously have to keep shipping it off? and what about after the one year?

Ok, but where would I find a last years model at?
Also what about door speakers?
Is this the "Type S" sub? Is that a decent price for it?

take a look at this its what i got and it pounds hard! http://cgi.ebay.com/Brand-New-KICKER...QQcmdZViewItem 1500w peak power! thats crazy and for a low price. Also a square sub has more surface area wich allows a 10 in sub to hit like a 11 in sub would. just a suggestion.

i wouldnt suggest 3 its really loud in my truck with one for 2 the amp choice is really up to on how much u are willing to spend. Either go with a huge amp 2800 watts or so or 2 1000-1200 watt amps its really up to you. I would go with 2 of these personally though http://cgi.ebay.com/05-KENWOOD-1000w...QQcmdZViewItem

As for rolla_guy72, what do you mean when you say 'If your getting any kicker L-series I would suggest that you only put the rated RMS pwer on ONE in a small vehicle like a ranger.'
I don't know what you're saying, cuz I don't really know anything about systems... lol

I really like panasonic. There hi end units are great. Lots of expandablity and they look sweet. The desplays are fully custimizibale (sorry i cant spell) i got some really nice pics of cars and stuff on mine and they also have moving images. YOu can make them too.
My friend has an apline headunit right know and is begging me to sell him mine. As for subs i run two 2004 model alpine 12"s at 2 ohm. 300 watts of rms a peice with matching mrd-300 amps. The really kick in a ranger. Plus they look good too. I am thinking about getting 2 more 2005 type r's or one 12" type x. Ebay is the place to find what you want.
