Best Head Unit for your money
Hey guys,

Just wondering on your opinion on the best Alpine head unit for your money. In other words, the best 'bang for your bucks' I'm thinking of the alpine 9833 or 9831 the only difference I see between the two models is the watts per channel. the 9831 is like $60 bucks cheaper, So i was wondering if I should get the 9831 instead of the 9833. Ooh, if you guys recommend different mondels, please let me know.

I greately appreciate any contructive/positive feedbacks. 		To remove this ad, register today for free or log in if already registered!

9833 has 6 channel time correction versus 4 channel on the 9831, it has a 6 position active crossover with a variable 24 db slope, whereas the 9831 has a 3 position crossover with no slope adjustment

9833 has the ability to go into "pro" mode and act as a passive crossover for your entire system, allowing you to remove the crossovers on your components.

9833 has a 5 band parametric EQ, 9831 has "bass" and "treble"

The full specs are available at www.alpine-usa.com

There are quite a few differences between the two!

seems to make just the 5 band parametric EQ makes it worth it to buy the 9833 rather than the 9831. You guys think intallation will be hard since it has the v-drive thing?

CEA spec amplifier inside...the wattage advertised gives peak and RMS out of the HU instead of just peak.

Definately! Get as much EQ you can get - a bass and treble EQ will not satisfy your music, or your ears - trust me

Installation is also the same with the v-drive...its just the internals of the HU that are different. Don't worry about it.

Also, the 9833 can be set to perfectly match the display of the gauge cluster in most cars due to its 512 color tuning display
