|  Alpine CDA-9831R Well it looks like this is the one I am getting... I have to get it from Halfrauds as I have some credit to spend  Any final thoughts before I buy it? Anyone own it? Or can I do better for the money? Cheers

| I'm sure Halfords do price matching. And I'm sure you can get that head unit cheaper from elsewhere... so do a price match before you buy it, and save even more It is a very nice head unit. Have a look at the 9855 though... seems very popular at the moment.

| Well personally I'd go for the 9853 which is £229.99 or get the 9855 which I have for £299.99 fromHERE I paid £309.99 when I bought it so they've lowered the prices. The 9855 is an amazing unit with time correction and better built in crossovers and for £30 more you can't beat it.

| I have the 9830R. It is a very good set so go for it! The Green buttons go well with the display lights etc and you can change the colours on the 9831 so even better! The digital time correction function is spot on as well...

I was always knew a decent head unit alone would improve the sound, but crickey, sounds excellent now Standard speakers arnt up for much though, time for a lovely ice install me thinks

|  I too have just fitted a new unit. I bought aerial booster for the hell of it. I was really impressed with how the speakers improved. Really quite good for OEM imo. The whole lot still need replacing though... |

The thing is I've got two sets of RCA leads, wiring from the remote that goes in to a switch panel in the slide out tray that has 5 extra wires coming back in to the cavity and a bass knob cable too. When I get round to it, i'll tidy it up properly
