hey guys, I recently decided I am going to upgrade the system in my 97 pathfinder. I have decided on the speakers (Polk MM6501 components and MM651 coaxials) the subs (Kicker 07DCVR12) and the amps (JL Audio 450/4 and kicker z750.1). I also plan on dynamating the hell out of the car now, where I am stuck on is the headunit. I have two in mind, either the Nakamichi cd400 or the alpine cda 9887. Ive heard amazing things bout the nak's sq but have heard that the alpine's tuning abilities are great too. so, i expect the posters here know much more bout car audio than i do so any advice or opinion would be greatly appreciated. which one would you pick
I have no experiance with the Nakamichi but I can tell you that I have never been dissappointed by Alpine
Back in the day Nakamichi was the best of the best, but I think the company was bought out and now their stuff is just run of the mill. Alpine has also been very good to me also, I have never had any problems with the ones that I have owned. I also agree with CC about the Eclipse, very nice units and some have 8 volt output to the amps so you get a very clean signal. I think id go with Alpine or Eclipse before the Nak.
