      Kenwood is the better of the 2 although at those prices there are alternatives to consider before buying.

          Alpine 9835r is a really good sounding unit.

          Failing that there's the Beckers.

          Depends, what do you want from your head unit? sound quality or functionality?

          For the money the 2 units you are looking at do have some nice features one has a usb link iirc?

              I have an Alpine much like the one Jamo has posted, although with "Marmite" feature of GlideTouch, which I love, but I know others hate.

              The Head Unit itself cannot be faulted, top quality as you'd expect from Alpine.

              It might not be a 5 pot or an S2... but at least I have a 20v Turbo in my life again.

                Good unit crap EQ, only the higher range Pioneers have the a decent EQ

                I'm actually a big fan of Pioneer units infact my Alpine is the first non Pioneer unit i've had in a while, used to run the 9400 and was very close to buying the P9800BT

                ( still tempted! )

                  What I do like about about the JVC is the fact that it has a 24bit Burr Brown DAC converter wich only the top pio models have...

                    Sounds promising then for that money!

                          9855r or 9853r?

                          I hate glide touch, it's horrible when you driving!
