Izso said:9855 is nice what. I have one installed in my car now. Matched with Dynaudio MKII and Helix amp. Of course in comparison with 7998 it's no match but in terms of sound, I'd say it's better than the Clarion 986 model thingy.. the 2nd highest end model for Clarion (with the touch screen).
Digital and fake sound? Ha? I don't think so! It has a built in processor (x-over and EQ) but if set to all flat it's still quite good wot.
Move NRF : If you really wanna know, why not ask the accessory shop let you test it first? There's one shop in KL I can recommend who'll let you try any HU he has for free and with no obligation. PM me (I'm the same IZSO from MyCarHifi)
Zenn said:move nrf u mean u want to run your component set from the HU direct? not enuff power la bro....
get an amp then we can discuss about matching...
Izso said:move_nrf tai-tai kor : With Alpine HU's you generally cannot go wrong la. With other HU's it's all about matching them with the right equipment. Oh, have a look at Eclipse too before you settle for Alpine. They are not as bright as Alpines but have high pre-outs (8454 is 8v pre-out!).
Btw, how are you going to use a 2-channel to power 2 component sets wor? 2-channel can only power one component set unless you are planning to Y-joint one channel into one comp set and Y-joint another channel to the other comp set? That would be... interesting to say the least!
btw, the seefu's are Zenn, mnkh0027, Calvinhpk, ahboy, tibb, netken, etc. I am only koochi rat who is still learning what a EQ is. Hehe..
