there is also the P9 combo but the OP is comparing the clarion with the 9855 and pioneer 880

got a 3-way active xover? nope... no xover and poor eq doesnt make it seem like a 880 or 9855 killer to me...you're paying for a fancy screen, and a small hard drive, and less processing

regardless--- internal processing is for cheap a$$es

You dumbass. It does have a 3-way xover, and more sound tweaking features than the 9855. It's also a hell of a lot easier to use, and has plenty of other things that the people at Alpine haven't even touched yet. I have owned both, and the DXZ955 is far superior to the 9855. Do yourself a favor and drink some bleach, and cleanse the stupidity from yourself.

LOL

nice head unit dude, iirc this was their best 1din touchscreen unit, the 955, has a very very good sound processor and it is very easy to use, I messed around with it in a shop, and it became addicting, loll, was gonna buy it but **** was it expensive, like 600$, sweet hu though, the new kenwoods can store music in the HU also! and eclipse too I think?

so what makes an external processor better?

aren't any hu's that can do the processing i have external in any of my personal cars...

what makes it better is more options, more voltage, digital cable from hu to processor, higher slopes, more bands, etc.?

sure if you get a P9 combo vs. an 880 but not all of us are big balla's like yourself

Just ordered my 880prs recently. Hope I like it going from a CDA-9835. IMO I don't like the looks of the Clarion. I like the looks of the old school Alpines and the 880prs more. The 880prs looks more of a classy look then a show compare to clarion/alpine. But as long as you like it, cool.

i used to own a 9835. i think i like the pioneer better. easier to navigate and bigger eq. display is nicer on the alpine though.

The only thing the 880 doesn't have that I really need.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

Never cared for the touch screen on those clarions, but they are good sounding units. 880 is better though by a bit in my eyes largely due to the eq.

Pioneer's gonna have to try hard to outdo themselves. They've done a real bang-up job with the 880.

I think at the given price, the 880 was a GREAT choice for this market. I think Pioneer should offer a better version of the deck...maybe call it the 990 and offer a 4-WAY CROSSOVER, 31 BAND EQ and a few other things like a better transport and keep the price at about $650-800 or so. I think these would sell very well also.

if you have the remote there is a play/pause button...

If I had to buy a headunit again next year, I'd buy a used 880. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif The HU is ***. The Clarion's a little blingy for me.
