[QUOTE="cbrei1023, post: 5488030, member: 604816"] I believe that the Clarion FB276BT, is just for a bluetooth reciever, and I know Alpines iDZ-X100 is only for an I-POD. So if you ever want to play a CD you need to take those two units out of the choices. I personally dont like a deck that cant play CDs. As for your other choices. I have the 9884 and I love it, its a great deck for the prices they can be had for. From what I could tell the 9886 was just a 9884 with a nicer faceplate. maybe some other upgrades, but I didnt really look to hard. The 9887 (which you didnt list) is a fantastic deck. it has the imprint tech already built in, so you will get much more control over the tuning, and you will have a 5 or 7 band EQ vs the standard 2 band which is on the 9884 and 9886. On the Clarion side. I wouldent get anything except the DXZ785USB or DXZ585USB. The only difference again being the 785 has a nicer faceplate. I had a 785USB in the past and it was a very nice deck. The 3-way crossover was a nice feature. The only thing I wasnt happy with was the EQ, only a 3 band. The center frequencies were selectable though which was nice. My final word would be to go with a 9887 if you can afford it. You would get great SQ. If not that, go with the 9886. [/QUOTE]
