[QUOTE="Chevyaudio, post: 1484481, member: 559770"] Yeah you're right, the 55/53 units are being replaced in 06. Though I dont completly agree that these units will be better. I happen to own a 9855, and like it. For one the new units arent out yet, so Alpine could have just as many problems with the initial "run" of this years units, as they did with the early production of the 9855, 9853. Two, though the 9853 was lacking in Pre-out voltage, and that was just about it, and the 9855 cured the preout problem with the outboard DC/DC converter that boosted preouts up to 4V, and both units come with very capable crossovers, and a 7 band Graphic EQ, and a 5 band Parametric EQ. So these units are far from "lacking". I am looking forward to the 9861, because it is one of my future puchases, if I dont go with an IVA-d310, but im not going to make assumptions on the quality of the new models. [/QUOTE]
