i have a 7800mp for sale. it's a nice unit. it has everything you should need as long as your not looking to go active with it.

still dont understand active and passive, care to explain please?

passive means using the supplied crossovers that came with the comp set. a set of speaker wires will go from the amp to the passives, then a set from the passives to the mids and a set from the passives to the tweeters. the passive takes care of making sure frequencies go where they should.

in an active setup you control the crossover points and slopes before amplification, usually you control the points and slopes from the head unit. you'll need 4 channels to run an active 2 way front stage.

the 780 or 7800 cannot control an active setup. it'll do anything you would need to do other than controlling an active setup.

Are you talking about the 9885? There is no 9855 on Alpine's site.

I'd go with the Pioneer if it was my choice...

no, definatly the 9855.... the only thing to get used to is the glide touch but the screen on the pioneer is so bangin.
