So i'm disappointed with my HU...

[R05Nismo 10+ year member]

it has a 7 band eq as well as time correction and the crossover allows you to run active( 2 or 3 way)if ur looking to step up SQ or run acitve components, i would get the 9887

I was looking at getting the 9886 and an EQ but might just get the 9887. Do you know what the 7 eq bands are?

You have either 5 band adjustable peq or 7 band geq. I believe it states in the manual what the points are.

so say you had my system... and i wanted to run active... would i be able to do it with what i have?

First, read and find out what going active is, then draw your conclusion yourself.

haha jk..

With what you have now, not you cannot. You don't have 4 channels of amplification, and you don't have the proper processor or headunit...

haha thanks

ok so i'm pretty sure i'm gonna go with a cda-9887 when i get around to it

9886 can be used with the imprint. Built in ipod on 9886, no usb on 9886, 9886 has 2 band eq, can be ran active using the pxa-h100

Actually, its the 9887 that has no usb, the 9886 has rear usb, so you can put an extender cable there.

I wish the 9887 did, that would make it perfect for me. I hate to add those **** $150 modules that take up underdash space and have spaghetti wiring from every end.

9886 also has the 24-bit DAC, the 9885 does not.

Alpine is the best.

Why don't ya wanna get an alpine?

 

[andrewmoore13 10+ year member]

i have nothing against Alpine, i just want to see what else people suggest

MUST HAVE iPod CONTROL!!!

i have also read that with the 9887 you have to get the Imprint software in order to change Bass/Treble? is this true?

 

[nismos14 5,000+ posts]

No, you get a 7 band eq or a 5 band peq that you can use to better fine tune the sytem. Its > bass treble controls.
