I have had great success with that particular unit. I think it will work just fine for that application.

is this better than the alpine 9887?

I have never used that Alpine HU. I could only compare the same specs that you have access to. If you asked me which brand I had more confidence in, I would say Eclipse. The last Alpine HU that I used was the 9833. I liked it a lot, but sold it for an Eclipse 8455. 8V pre-outs were awesome. I have installed a couple CD7200's and have had zero issues and they all sounded great.

I am currently running a Pioneer 880PRS. I love the tunability and interface. I have always had a small noise issue. Grounded the RCA's and 99% of it is gone. Most people don't even hear it. If only Eclipse had something with the tunability of the 880, that would be the deck I would want.

A loud demo car? Unless you plan on using that Deck active... for christs sake.. go with something else.

You'll be using about 5% of that decks capacity if you use it in Passive mode.
