Absolutely beautiful headunit. I was sceptical coming from an Eclipse CD7000. The CD7000 was an awesome headunit. Between the two though my favorite is the 9887. The CD7000 has a more clear and natural tone to the speakers where as the Alpine 9887 adds a little coloration and sounds warmer (I prefer this). The one thing I dislike about the 9887 is the time alignment. You can only get approximations within the headunit where as with the Eclipse CD7000 you could get spot on down to the millisecond. Another thing with the 9887 is with the active EQ you can only get within 4 bands of the next EQ option. In order to compensate for this you have to adjust the Q and slopes so they dont roll off as fast to cover the gaps between bands.
Other than that I use this HU with the KCE 422i and my 8Gb iPod Touch, KTP 445 power pack, and I run an Eclipse XA5000 5 channel amp, pair of ID8D2V3's, and a set of Eclipse SC6500's up front and no rear fill. As soon as I have an opportunity Ill be going active and Ill put the 9887 to the test. I have the KTX 100EQ sitting in a box on standby.

Purchased this for my mom on Mothers Day. Installed it myself....extremely easy. Synced it all up and she loves this thing. She is old school...won't use a computer for anything, thinks checks are the way to go, electronics freak her out and I was looking for something simple for her to use as she is on the road a lot. She commented on how great the sound is now. So if it is easy enough for her to use it passes the test. She likes just being able to push the button for true hands free calling. I am thinking about getting the same one for my dad as well and possibly me.

I Just hooked up the Alpine 9887 today and it is fantastic! I will admit, I have been out of the car stereo game for a few years while my music & money focus had turned to home theater, but honestly if any one said this head unit wasnt top notch in sound quality, design and tweekability they're crazy.
Running it to two12s, Fosgate 200 dsm, Alpine 75wx4, Sony 6x9s, 6 1/2" & tweets. In addition an audio control xover, and packed in a 71 Camaro. It rocks with clarity!

I have to admit, the IPOD is slow when changing songs, but this is my first deck with IPOD accessories. Thats what CD's are for. I still use both. This deck has all the options and my favorite is the Night Light Illumintion which I have programmed to turn off after 5 seconds. Nice when driving at night. The light can be annoying. This is more of an adult unit. You need to know what your are gonna listen to before you start driving down the road. Otherwise you will get into a wreck. You will also have to purchase the programmer for this deck. Do your homework on this unit.

I've been stuck with this radio for about a year and I can't wait to get rid of it in March when the Kenwood KDC-X994 comes out. Sound quality is fine but the unit was designed horribly you can't read the clock unless you're within 6 inches of the display (which makes driving kind of hard). If you turn the knob too fast it stops working so it takes forever to find a song by track is you're using a large Ipod. Quick search is useless unless you remember what number out of 10,000 your song is. The Sirius adapter is nice but you have to wire it acc. or it will hang up on you about every 3 days. The blue tooth device sounds like a echo chamber and gives you background noise threw the Ipod. Overall I am very disappointed with Alpine. I used to work for an Alpine dealer so I know how their products used to be. What's going on Alpine?
