Alpine CDA-9887 Listed in Crutchfield

[desertheat 10+ year member]

With the 9835 you can shut down the internal amp.

Also the alpine 7949 was a dead head as well.

I used to sell the old Kenwood flip face series. Man I remember them being the best performing decks for that time period... I never had any issues with mine knock on wood but did hear about the issues from my rep at the time. Was sad as they sure were nice units.

That's also one of the many things I like about the drz9255, Naks, Mac, Denons, etc..

Why must they "flip" anyway.. There's plenty enough room to get all the stuff on the faceplate and have a slit for disc loading.. The whole "Flip-faces" thing to me is just plain and simple a show-boating gimmick. If it were really sure-enough cool.. every bling bling lexus and jag would be running flip-faces in OEM's.. hehehe Could you imagine.. As if they don't have enough moving parts to break. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

You could always get one on ebay... Seems other countrys have em.

Cost ya a little more but if you cant wait, I guess it dont matter.

Yeah they're loaded with Australian models... if you absolutely don't mind the cost, non-US radio frequencies, and risk of shipping and the wait.. It would probably arrive about the same time Crutchfield gets 'em. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

i cant wait for this unit.

Ahhh....the memories of dying DMASK Kenwood head units. I've got a PS907 (deadhead from around 1997/1998) in the dash of my truck right now. I had it repaired back in 2000 and it has failed again. I'm trying to decide if I want to have it repaired (a guy on Ebay will fix it for around $50 plus shipping both ways) or if I want to get a new head unit.

Yes, you can go active with it within limits of 6 channels which includes two subs. Can either go active with 4 all around or two-way upfront with two subs.. which is the way I plan on going.

I just saw a way pushed out September date for the Imprint processor.. I'll bet this unit will get pushed out also. The 880 is starting to look more and more appealing.

**** alpine. i might just get a rf 360.2.

 

[Babs 10+ year member]

I'm considering that option highly myself if I can find a silly deal on one.

Plus the OEM processors have no moving parts to break.

I wish the MS-8 or H650 would hit the market.

So expected release date is August? I am going to see if I can try to get one now. I work for the main distribution company in Canada. I currently own 2 7995's, a 7894 and an IVA-W205, and I am considering getting rid of all of them right now. I was actually hoping for a motorized face...I like that gimmick.

So Alpine finally going back to internal active HUs or would you still need external.
Can it control the pdx amps like the older series?

Which Alpine receivers could "control" PDX amps? And in what way exactly did they "control" them?

Man I checked my bby stuff and we have nothing on it. Just comes up as not found. Not even a release date for us.

I would really like to know this as I may be getting PDX amps soon.

 

[Babs 10+ year member]

Just checking the specs on PDX's.. I'm not seeing anything about any extra "control" other than any other typical amps. Though they're ICEpower (non-conventional non-class A/B), they take power/ground and inputs/outputs like any other conventional amp.. Not seeing any special AI-net style input or control being noted. Might check the manual on them but I'm not seeing anything.. I'd love to have a set though.. They're supposed to be phenomenal amps, maybe a little pricey but nice, and low draw off the alternator (class-D full range).

Anyone have any updates on this? More specific release date?

 

[kingrukus 10+ year member]

It has hit canadian distribution. I am waiting on a PDX1000 to come in from backorder...as soon as it is in, I will have both. Ill post a review if no one else does before me.

I was just searching for the 9887R on google and came across some specs for it.

http://www.alpine-europe.de/index.php?id=cda-9887r

If America's version shares some of those features with the R, I might have to pre-order this deck.
