i proudly own an eclipse cd3000 and not so proudly, an alpine 9855. i only picked up the 9855 cuz the eclipse doesnt have a pause button, which i found out was very important...(being dq'ed in the final round at a 3x for bassrace and then having to wait 15 seconds just for it to play the song at the next show) Well i put the alpine in today and i have to say, its complete ass, when compared to the eclipse on sound quality and control....i messed around and did a few burps with it and i could hear nothing but lost db's, i dont think this unit is that good at all, i dont know if its because its so user friendly or because it just ***** that bad when compared to the sq of the eclipse......i dont know what to do, i need to run something for comps, but not the shitty 9855, any suggestions????????
