The alpine 9887 is pissing me off

[Alpine4life89 10+ year member]

Ok, so i got my first alpine 9887 about 3 weeks ago and it was skipping like crazy. I dealt with it for about 5 days before shipping it back and requesting a new one. So today, two weeks later, i get my new deck and i was hoping it wasn't going to skip. Well, it still does! It doesn't skip as bad, but it still skips more than i can stand. I tried several different cd's and it didn't get better.

So after 2 weeks with no radio, i end up having the same problem i had in the first place. A skipping unit that i can barely enjoy! I am so pissed right now, wtf is up with these units?

Maybe your CDs are in really bad shape? Time to consider USB? Or an Ipod? I dunno..

maybe you should properly mount the headunit so it doesn't vibrate so much. on top of that, why don't you turn your music down...

If you are absolutrly sure it's a new deck they sent you, go BUY a new cd and see what happens. You might have got a bad batch of cds. happened to me once with some Microcenter ones.

well, i have a brand new beatles cd i can test. Never been used. I will try it in a minute.

My driving style is fine, even going slow it still skips. I'm just surprised with this because my old pioneer and alpines never skipped once.

why would it matter how loud my music is?

There's really no way to mount it any better. Not that i know of
