Thinking about getting a Alpine 9887 and I was wondering what are the cons of it.

I haven't put mine in yet but if you get into the eq settings you have to press like 20 different buttons in order to ind your way.

interface is decent...i wish there was a faster way to search through the songs.

A couple things ive read was that,you cant go pick a different playlist,artist,song,ect while shuffle is on(ipod src) and another one was you cannont control sub options(level,phase,ect) with multieq on.

?

It's confusing to navigate through the menus is my only complaint.

I got used to it.

It was confusing at first, but once you sat down and learned it, it was easy to use.

A tad slow, but it didn't bother me all that much.

I loved it. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

The Pioneer Premeir DEH-P800PRS has independent L/R control with it's 16 band graphic eq and it's crossover (3 way or 2 way). You can get a pretty good deal on one if you shop around. The DEH-P880PRS is almost the same unit except the face is silver instead of black and it does not have a copper plated chassis like the 800.

I have not complaints about it from wheat I have seen and read that has everything I need. Also it is an Alpine simply the best.

I used to use an Alpine CDA-9855. I was very skeptical to change brands. I finally did it and I don't think I'll ever go back. It's a great deck. The guy at a local place tried to sell me his display of the 880 because he knew the 800 was coming out and wanted to get it in his wall. I really wanted the 800 because of the black faceplate and the copper plated chassis. I ended up getting it from 6ave.com through amazon.com. I got a great price on it and receipt from an authorized dealer. I figured I couldn't beat that. The lowest price I could find was only like $10 bucks cheaper and wasn't from an authorized dealer.

after having my pioneer and playing with all the rest, I will never use anybody else until they make some serious improvements with the interface

the buttons around the volume know feel cheap and flimsy imo.
