I'm buying a new deck in the next couple of weeks, probably an alpine 9831. I can get it for a really good deal through a buddy of mine.
For those of you who have this deck, please share any negative or positive opinions.

 

I hate fold down front panels. That's why I like the 9827, same specs, lots of features and direct front load. just my opinion.

 

I got the 9830 a few weeks ago. I love it, awsome sound quality and sweet features. Havnt figured everything out yet tho.

 

thanks for the opinions.
i was never fond of the fold down faces either until i got my 7995. the tilt feature is awesome. i can't even picture the face sitting straight anymore. it has to be angled.
i have the cda-7995 still but it has problems so i'm getting a new unit. i'm hoping these newer alpines will sound as good.

 

defro,
from reading the specs i highly agree that the 9833 is better. however the price difference is significant enough for me to stick with the 9831.
and realistically i won't even screw with the eq or crossovers. so the 6 position hpf/lpf and 5 band parametric eq aren't a bonus for me.
i'd like to buy the more capable unit incase i decide to tamper with my sound more but money is a deciding factor unfortunately.

 

Hey Defro, when you say 10x the deck, you mean just features right. The specs sound wise appear to be the same ie. s/n 105db, freq resp., etc...If you tell me that the 9833 has better parts then I'll have to buy one. I trust your Alpine knoledge!!!

 

i too would like to know if the internals are much different from the 9831 to 9833.

 

just bumpin' this cause I'd really like to know the difference in performance between 9827 alpine and the 9833 as above.

 

Just a quick post.

Power.

The CDA9833 puts out 26wrms CEA ratings per channel.
The CDA9827 puts out 18wrms CEA ratings per channel.
