Which Alpine HU should I get?

I'm new to the Alpine line and I was interested in getting either the Alpine CDA-9807 or the Alpine CDA-7995. There's only a $20 dollar difference in price. My setup is directed 250 watt 4-channel powering my JBL GTO Compnents and 3-way coaxils and JBL 600 watt mono amp powering 2 10" JL audio subs. Which one would be the better choice HU for this setup? Keep in mind I like to listen to my music loud, yet at the same time I want some clarity with my sound. I eventually will upgrade the 2 JL audio subs to one 12" Kicker L7 in a custom enclosure so I can get some space back in my trunk. Thanxs in advance for your help!!!

I would go with the 7995, since its top of the line, and now pretty discounted.

It ain't that sweet with $200 difference in price. I'm not a sound engineer and i won't be playing movies in my car so I don't need all that tweeking speakers through the headunit. And it's deffinitely way out of my price range, but yeah nice radio. I'll probably work my way up to that unit, but for entry level alpine, i think I shall go with CDA-9807.

Thats understandable, im still trying to understand how to work it correctly :P Between the 9807 and the 7995 I'd say the 7995 though.

By the way, where is the 7995 a $20 difference in price from the 9807? Im looking now and the 7995 is $20 less than the 9815

I don't know where you've been looking but the $20 difference between 7995 & 9807 is on crutchfield. On that same website there is a $200 dollar difference between 7995 & 9815. They're trying to get rid of the 7995, i guess cause it's an older model, and make room for the newer Alpine models. They have it(7995) for $299. I like the 9815, but I'm not going to spend $500 on just a radio. Brotha man is on a budget and the 9807 seems to be the best bang for my buck.
