AI James Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 i like mine i came form high end kenwood to the alpine. I like that im not resetting my alpine all the time because the USB doesnt read or that the ipod dont work or that it stops reading CD's randomly. my alpine runs my hdd flawlessly and looks alot better in my car. i dont care if its hard to work with because its just a volume knob and source to me anyhow i use external processing if needed.

Robert8252 Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 I had that same problem with my kenwood X994 not reading USB or CDs randomly sometimes as often as once or twice a week. Sometimes it would act weird with iPod as well with static. I likes the features of it a lot but probably wouldn't buy another kenwood anytime soon. No help on info on the alpine but my experience with the Excelons Quote 2013 F150 Crew Cab Old Build Log Feedback 2013 F150 Equipment - Some Awesome Stereo Sound Making Stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonedeaf Posted July 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 (edited) Id take a 9887 over a 117 all day long 3way, active is huge for me Is the 9887 active built in? Ill eventually be running a 3 way on probably an MS-8 but need to glass my doors and pillars and find a good 3 or 4 inch mid. But if the 9887 has the capability, ill shoot for it for sure.

n8ball2013 Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 i looked at the 117 i think it was before settling on the older 9887. the 9887 seemed better to me in every way.
