So I saw this deal on Gibby's Audio Video on until tomorrow for the Alpine CDA-9886 HU.
http://www.gibbysaudiovideo.com/alpine-cda...ver-p-2539.html

$288.99 +13% tax
= $326.55 CAD
+ shipping?

http://www.alpine-usa.com/US-en/products/p...?model=CDA-9886
The MSRP from the alpine site is $350 American + taxes + shipping

Any comments, imput?

And here's a picture for those who won't click the link:

 

It's not an amazing deal, but it's a good price. No one actually sells for the MSRP.

They have it for $299 USD, with free shipping, however maybe not to Canada.

dont know if thats a good deal or not, but those hu's are VERY nice, the newest model is the cda-9887 so your getting almost the newest model for the cda's

very good if you want ipod controls, and the quality of them are amazing

 

The problem with the Crutchfield is that the Canadian is only trading at .787 American...
So you'd have to add like 21% to that price, then tax, international shipping and you get rapped at the border. 02.gif

Two months ago it was on bar too... crazy economy.

 

if you crunch the numbers it might be cheaper to have someone in the states buy it and have them ship it to you....

 

Thats the exact one im gettin you could get it brand new on ebay for 225-250

 

Hmm, so my final decision comes down between the Alpine CDA-9886 and the Alpine IDA-X100...

From what I gather, they're both basically the same thing, just one plays CDs, and the other is strictly iPod compatible... The 9886 has slightly more customizeable EQ..

X100


Comparison from the Alpine site..

 

I suggest going with the 86. you can get the ai-net cable and be able to control your ipod throught the 86 and have the better sound options, not that either alpine will sound anything, but amazing.

 

I have a biased opinion, but I love my IDA-X100. All I ever use is my Ipod so it's perfect for my needs, but I would only get it if you use just your Pod. It can have a CD changer hooked up to it, but if you use Cd's then I'd stick with a player that has CD capability. Why waste the money on a receiver and a changer if you can get it all in one. I've never touched a Alpine CDA-9886, so I can't compare the two, but I personally haven't had anything but great performance from the X100.

 

I got the 9887 in Hong Kong and it was 3800 hongkong dollars:p
Very good deck...
But i need the mike that adjusts the sound then you dont need to set anything...
Can you guys get that?
Price?
