ooooooooohhhhhhh......that and a 7909 all in the same week.......im partial to the 7909 but it is an entirely emotional decision based on the fact that the alpine was the one to have when i couldnt afford it when it was new, of course i cant afford it now either

I was set on going for that Clarion, really.

The review on ECA for it wasnt to shabby. Seemed like an all around OK unit with no real big lows OR high points...

Price wise, not bad. You can get it brand new on E Bay for $650. A guy on ECA has a very slightly used for $600...

Im very glad I will be getting this unit. But my wallet is so hurt right now, its just in TEARS. I still havent cleared/collected my last CAD contract that I thought would be in/done by now...

Grrrr....

:help:

Also Ryan, I have a brand new DRz9255 I can buy from a friend that is priced at $700 for me and me only. He is a Clarion dealer and wants me to upgrade to the Clarion. What do you think?

I am sure I can get $350 for my 8455.

This headunit is the same head unit as the DRz9255 Clarion without the PEQ, Crossover or T/A. It is pure SQ. Also the separate DA/DA converter is on a digital symbilink-type line. Excellence. This headunit new sold for over 3000 bucks 10 years ago.

Alpine has never made a pure SQ headunit since the 7909. And that hu was good, but not nearly as good as this one for SQ. This HU is better than the F#1 Status from Alpine. It is a pure chassis made only for one thing. To reproduce the best sound possible. BAR NONE. I had one of these in my demo car at the shop.
