Down to these 2. I'm working with wholesaler to replace all my stuff that was just stolen. Had decided on CDA-9855 as deck but have heard so many things about the Eclipse that I had to post one final time for a comparison from people who have used both.
Glide touch: wont bug me as it sounds like I'll get used to it.
Preamp outs: Advantage Eclipse. I know Eclipse has 8v preamp outs and Alpine has 4 volt.
However, a big thing for me is ability to do quick EQ Adjustements for Sub level. I know the Alpine is setup so that you push the volume button and Sub level is first thing on the menu...so thats nice. I have heard a couple different stories on the 8445 so I'm wondering for sure how you adjust it. Still curious which has the better overall EQ.
I think both have about the same level of time adjustment.
So..let me know your final opinions. I can get the Alpine via the insurance company...Eclipse I have to "go the extra mile" so to speak to get it.
