Haha, well, Best Buy has a special right now- 9885 with free ipod cable for 284.99, free installation, and installation on the ipod cable is only 14.99. So I call the place I go to get my stuff, a great place that price matches, and they quote 375- 30 for ipod cable, 30 for install, 15 dollar...

so is the wiring harness vehicle specific? and if my current deck used it it will simply plug into the alpine and I will have to do 0 crimping, etc? If this is the case than that is TOO easy! Once again deck is a Kenwood KDC 8017, do you think this used a harness?

Well I will try and take a picture and post it. Pretty positive it used one. As for the dash, been there done that (off road lighting switch). If it is that easy, I think I will order from crutchfield. And I assume the only thing I would need to do for the ipod cord is drill a hole in my...

Alright, 9885 it is. So now my debate is this. 350-400 bucks installed with ipod cable at every single shop around town. 300 on crutchfield with free ipod cable/free shipping. 260 on ebay with free ipod cable/free shipping/ could buy crutchfield master sheets for like 20 bucks total. I...

I am a prominent member like yourself of 1-2 forums I care about and enjoy using all the time and I know how to approach things....it makes all the difference in the world. Thank you for the advice. My next decision is 9883 or 9885, searched found a little but still not convinced on either or.

OKay thank you very much. My friend has an amp I can get for free but I think it is 2 channel so I will save it for a sub. Still though is 200-300 bucks worth just an ipod input? Will I see any sound advantages with the Alpine? I'm really struggling to decide whether or not I should go with it.

So then my years old kenwood will actually sound better at 22rms...? Those alpine speakers are rated at 35 rms. Do I want to match a deck as close as possible to that?

after doing some research i understand that now. My current unit says it has 22 rms, and 47 peak power. The Alpine has 18rms, and 50 peak power. Now I am completely confused as to what is more important and what will sound better. Which is going to sound better with my Alpine speakers? If...

nothin?

Alright I will try to make this as clear as possible. I have a 96 jeep cherokee. -The stock speakers were TOAST so I just got 2 pairs of Alpine SPS-13C2 put in front and rear, and I absolutely love them. These speakers are amazing. -When I bought the car, it had an aftermarket deck in it, a...
