there will be subs and components hooked up to it
i do use a lot of mp3s both are mp3 compatable the 9851 says something about being very fit for mp3 play.
the 9851 has 2v outputs as compared to the 9830s 4v output

i just can't decide

there's only like a $10 price difference

if theres not that big of a price difference and you plan to have multiple amps hooked up, i would definitly go with the 9830.
the 9830 has much better features for tuning such as the EQ, and youll most likey have better SQ, with the 4v outputs.

i think the 9851 looks better though, but not by much. i generally like the alpine headunits

definatly mutiple amps..
I was thinking the 9830 also its been known to be a very good hu. the newer 9851 does look a little nicer and may be for tuned toward mp3 play.

[dantheman8328]

how cheap have you found that headunit btw? i might be interested in getting it

[aznxthuggie]

the 9830 beats the 9851 in flexibility, but the 9851 beats the 9830 in looks, up to you, i'd pick the 9853 instead

I'm looking in the 250 range.
I did however find out that the site i was going to pick up the 30 from no longer carries them.
so now i'm looking at the 33 or perhaps the 53 if i can find one for cheap
the 9833's are in the 250 range though

[Picquerist]

I went with the 9830
it's in the mail
