Okay guys here we go. I have a 96 Infiniti I30t with the stock Bose system. I'm looking to replace the current head with an aftermarket one. I've already been told installation is going to run me about $150...but my question to you is: should I go for the Alpine 9827, the 9833, or throw that money in the bank for a 9835? Opinions are appreciated.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all.

 

150 is bs to wire a h/u... unless that means with the harness for the bose thing included. get the 9833 unless you like the bling and go with the 35.

 

You're getting screwed. Take it somewhere else.

 

keep stock head unit ang get a sub..nothing like more bass

 

Go to RND Sounds in New Braunfels and get it installed for about $50.

 

Wow...$50 with the Bose system troubles? I'll definitely check that out! Thank you!!
So now that I have the installation down to 50, the question stands...the 9827, 9831/33 or say go for it and go all out on a 9835?

 

Get the 9827 AND a sub.

 

Is there much of a quality difference between the 9827 and the 9831? How about the 9831 and the 9833?

 

Frequency Response and Signal to Noise wise, all of them are exactly the same. 5-20kHz response and 105dB signal to noise. The only differences between the three, is that the 9827 doesnt have an EQ while the other two do. And the 9833 puts out a little more power than the other two. Also, the 9831 and 33 have more color options on the face and buttons and such. As I understand it, sound-wise they will be pretty much the same. The difference in price is becuase of the different colors and such.
