[QUOTE="ejschultz, post: 5877010, member: 603800"] unfortunately, yes. the warranty ended sometime in 2006 possibly early 2007. just because there's no warranty on it doesn't mean they won't service it though. they'll probably charge you, but they'll give you a quote over the phone first. if it's under $200, i'd probably get it fixed. it's hard to find a unit for that price with the features the 9855 offers. if it's more than that, you can spend $250 to $300 on a decent new unit with similar features. my gf just got a kenwood excelon KDC-X693 that's got time alignment and a 2 way crossover. i think it's also got a 5 band eq. no 3 way or anything like that though. she paid like 200 shipped for it. i figured it was a decent price, probably could have done a little better. it wouldn't have been from an authorized dealer and only would have saved her about $30. figured to actually get the 2 year warranty and all the install accessories free from crutchfield, it was worth the extra $30. it's also got a 24 bit DAC. that's something the 9855 doesn't have. it's basically the main reason i'm thinking about changing mine out for a premier p800prs. also, the kenwood doesn't have a motorized face...one less thing to go wrong in the future.
