hi Gunbir how is the performance of this HU any other model worth checking

[panky12345]

crutchfield is horribly expensive, you may like to try etronics.com; ebay (though risky but real good deals)!

hi members how is this deal Pioneer Premier DEH-P790BT - Premier Series In-Dash CD/MP3/WMA/WAV/iTunes AAC Receiver with Built-in Bluetooth Wireless Technology Hands-Free Kit and iPod adapter and controls • 50W x 4 peak output • Blue OEL Motion Display • 7-Band Graphic EQ - , In
is it worth the price and how does this HU compare to Alpine CDA-9887

[panky12345]

avoid sonix electronics by all means, and if you still insist, dont buy from their own website (however lucrative that might seem!) rather buy from ebay and use PAYPAL, atleast you'll be covered under buyer protection program and get an instant refund in case of non delivery/DOA.

[yogi1771]

which is the best online site to get a HU

[panky12345]

some of the relaible sites are:

etronics.com (used twice - PERFECT); ebay.com (if used with due care); walmart.com (if you find what are you looking for!)

Well unless you're stuck up on the bluetooth the Alpine 9887 is superior.

@ gunbir, can you tell the price of Alpine 9883?
I bought it on saturday and I am yet to pay for it, so want to make sure the dealer is correct in his pricing. (He said, he will offer 3% discount from MRP)

Friends just a query:- Has alpine came out with HU which supports USB drive and AUX-in!!

[johy]

A friend of mine is returning from the US shortly and can pick up a HU for me from

Wondering if I should go with the

Clarion 675 for $169

or

Alpine 9883

or any other HU within $180 or so.

advise.

[speedzak]

Both are good HUs. You won't go wrong with neither. Baaki brand preference etc... Is your choice.

Have you used any of these brands' HUs earlier? Then it's user interface will be comfortable for you. If I was in your position, I would choose Alpine.

Hi Speedzak,

I have only used my current Pioneer 5850 before this - and an older Pio model before this. I think I can get used to interfaces. I am looking for good SQ. Just wondering if the higher voltage preouts of the Clarion wins over the 9883.

Its retail is Rs 14790, but i think your dealer can easily stretch that discount to 5%.

Cheers!!
