I was looking around for a new head unit and my friend has this one. I looked at all the new ones out,but I really didn't like any of the new ones. This CD player is great in the fact that you can customize almost anything. The audio quality is fantastic and if your looking for quality in sound this is a great buy. My last head unit was a Pioneer DEH-P310UH Premier. When I got my pioneer I thought it was great,but soon find out that it sucked at getting radio stations which was a negative in my book. As soon as I got the Alpine 9855 it picked up any radio station that I could have ever wanted. The only downsides to this unit is that the glide bar is a bit tricky at first. Would not suggest you try to use it and drive if your not use to it. The other thing is that you have to buy a separate thing to play your ipod. This thing alone cost about $40. I was lucky enough to get the ipod thing with my Alpine on ebay. Besides that though no other bad things that I can think of. I have had it for a few days now and I absolutely am glad that I got it! I would totally recommend this Alpine!Read full review
I bought this to replace a CDA-9833 which had 26 watt rms amplifier built in, although the CDA-9855 only has an 18 watt rms amplifier the 4 volt pre outs sound better in comparison. If you are not running external amplifiers I would get a CDA-9833 or CDA-9835. If you plan on using the pre outs then I would recomend the CDA-9855. I bench tested the CDA-9855 pre outs. At volume level 28 which is appx. 80% of full level with a 70Hz test tone it puts out 2 volts RMS. With the volume at 33 it puts out 4 volts RMS. The only alpine I have ever had that exceeds this is the 7949, it puts out 5 volts RMS at volume level 35 max. With that said the 7949 was advertised as non clipping pre outs. The CDA-9855 is one of the last good cd players alpine produced. The build quality of it compared to a CDA-9887 makes the 9887 look junky and cheap. The CDA-9855 is a sweet cd player and you will never have buyers remorse if you purchase a used one on Ebay.Read full review
This unit is bad ass this is the best sounding deck I have ever heard trust me I own a transportation company, I recently purchase one of these decks and installed it in my car its high end like a f1 and it is a 2005 competition deck I run the deck with an alpine ERE-G180 this is a bad ass EQ you can find them both on ebay, trust me guys and girls if you want a high quality system do not buy anything else except these 2 items from Alpine period, I turned off the power to the unit making it a dead deck, I'm running 2 alpine amps with this deck one runs the tweeters and mids and the other runs a 12 in. I have people get in my car and say nice system turn it on when I turn this up your vision is very blurry when the bass hits and sounds so clear, after I turn the music off I get compliments on how dam clear sounding that the system is and the compliment comes out of everyone's mouth and it makes me smile, AND YOU DONT HAVE TOO SPEND A LOT FOR SOUND QUALITY I AM RUNNING 4 1.25 CENT TWEEDERS FROM CHINA STOCK BOSE SPEAKERS 4X7 AND ROCKFORD FOSEGATE 12 IN RENEGADE SUB for 50.00 new WITH MTX TERMINATER BOX 20.00 ON GRAIGSLIST.

Everything is abosuletely perfect with this unit!!!!! Excellent Product!!!! I consider this the best head unit Alpine has ever built. From the glide bar controls to the crystal clear high fidelity sound this is the cleanest clearest cd player i have ever owned!!!! Thank you very much for such a clean perfect used one. It looks like its brand new!!!!
The ////Alpine 9855 is one of the best Stereo Head units ever made bar none, its a shame that Alpine's quality is not the same as it use to be. This is my second one, and I regret leaving my first one in the car I sold (that will not happen again), so I was happy to get another one, since this model is no longer made I'm am glad that ebay is around so that I could get this fantastic Head unit into my new car. Thanks eBay...
