Alpine 9831/ Pioneer 860

[zachzchw]

Ive never used an alpine deck, mainly Pioneer and Panasonic.
I know many of you have used both, or are quite familiar with both.
Im replacing a Pioneer 860MP with the 9831, looking for general thoughts or opinions on the change....

[Hybrid90accord]

when looking at the spec the pioneer 860 seem superior in every aspect except signal to noise ration and th ealpine is both sirius and xm ready

[JAZN]

the 860 is more comparable to the 9833 and 9835.
you're downgrading IMO.

Gotta 8600, love the graphics and controls, wouldnt trade it for nuthin

[andy1234]

i know my 860 says xm ready i dunno bout sirus thought id keep the 860 if its warantied so if the preouts blow you can send it back and when it comes back its better than ever

[mjbailey21]

How would it be "better than ever"?

my bad to be askin this

but what's the point of using 2 headunits in a car? (im seeing your signature)

cuz it would be less likely to blow again and im sure it was checked for other problems while getting fixed

[94CamryBumpin]

stay with the 860...im about to get one

[zachzchw]

No, not less likely to blow again. The same thing could happen again, no more likely no less likely.
And they dont check for problems other than what you list.
