Good info. Still I wonder if it still has the active crossover, that's also not listed. The price of the 9856 is pretty cheap at $230.

looks nice. saw the 9856 listed in my crutchfield for $199. might be a worthwile replacement for my old 7893. I particularly want the "Bluetooth Ready" explained. If that means bluetooth cellphone or pda integration, oh hell yah.

 

Does anyone know when the 9857 will be available?

 

Crutchfield says Expected: 2/6/2006

 

This sounds like a $500 deck? Does everybody think this is about right?

 

Link? I can't find it anywhere on crutchfield. I found the 9856 but not the 9857.

 

Alpine website says March 2006.

 

Alpine MSRP for the 9857 is $400.00 so I would imagine retail would be $349.00 to $379.00 through Crutchfield?

 

what are the differences between the 9856 and 9857?

 

Dude, go to Alpine's website! Sheesh
