Those prices are way too high for either unit. Hell you can buy a 9887 from crutchfield for $400. Plus the 9855 is like 2 years old so how can it be brand new? You'd be getting ripped off on either deal.

I see in your sig you have a 9887 so why the hell would you want either of these units?

If you don't like the 9887, I'm sure you won't like the 9855 and the glide touch. Both of those units are overpriced. I paid $200 for my 8443 2 years ago. With that said, between the two I would take the 8443. It's a great deck and was very nice for going active, however the display is small on that one and you may not like it.

so between the 9855 and a 8443, the 8443 its a better unit ?? im more interested in the SQ and tuning options, specialy the 3 way active...
