April 22, 201114 yr Author Sorry to hear about your clarion man, I went through the same problems with mine last year. They just arent made like they used to be, just buy a cheapo hu and an ms-8 or some outboard processor so you wont have this problem again. Hopefully the Zcons are damaging the radio, full of win if so. As said before search around for some 800's or 880's they are still floating around.I think that was a big part of the problem, yes. i really like having everything right there in the HU. I like to tinker. lolI was never really in love with the Clarion, but it was cheap and did what I needed it to do. Really needed to replace it for a HU with a knob to roll up on tones anyway, so..............

April 23, 201114 yr I have an Amazon gift card $300 from a spiff at my work. If possible I want to use this instead of cash.So looking around on Amazon I have found the following..........Alpine CDA 9887$300 usedAlpine CDA 9886$220/30 usedPXA H100 is $120Been reading the Alpines are noisy? True?Anyone have these? Opinions? Thanks guys.No noise on all 3 9887 setups I've heard. Personally I'd pick the Alpine 9887 over the Pioneer 880 because of the ability to high-pass the tweeter channel as low as 20hz. If you want to run a midbass + fullrange setup you need that flexibility. However you lose L/R EQ, which is also a very good tool. 9855 and 9835 sadly lack L/R level for each band.
