Alpine CDA-9887

[L3B1anc3d]

Hey guys,

It's time for me to get a new deck, as I think my last one is just toast. I've been looking at this Alpine CDA-9887 and it seems pretty impressive (but I don't know a whole lot about this kinda stuff, I know my way around a 5 or 7 bar equalizer but thats about it).

If any of you have it, what do you think of the MultiEQ?

But most importantly.... My question is: What else do I have to buy with this deck? It seems like there is all kinds of stuff I need to make it work right (?). One being some IMPRINT sound management CD for about $30 (?) and then a IMPRINT Audio Processor for $145.

If that is the case, then I will definitely not be getting this deck.

the hu is great, but the software, and mo dual are junk. only made mine worse, maybe if you using the internal amplifier it helps but i didn't think so.

I'm sorry, but I am in no way a extensively knowledgeable in car stereos. What is Hu and Mo?

So if you just plug and go, what does the MultiEQ button do? Just nothing at all? Also, I read there were a ton of music quality settings. How hard is it to navigate all that? I could probably take it to a shop somewhere as well right?

If you have used a high end alpine deck then its nothing new, basically the 9855 with some chopped around features and built in ipod.

Looks pretty expensive... But maybe I could afford it soon enough. I just did a quick scan of the features, it mentioned something about auto eq. Do you have one of these? What do you think of it?
