[Guest Nismofreak]

I use to have a Alpine with the BBE Bass Engine....I cant remember which model I had but It was 3rd from the highest CDplayer model that they made in 04'......But anyway the bass engine aint nothing special. All headunits have their own lil nick name for a bass boost and Bass engine is Alpines, Pioneer calls theirs the SuppertunerIIID and Kenwood calls theirs B.M.S. (Bass Management System). All of em have their own version. Me personally I will never buy another Alpine although they get good reviews but like Kenwood better because to me it gives off a cleaner sound....my second choice is the pioneer and panasonic is out of the question. But from what u described Id pick the Pioneer because ur gonna have a line driver to make up for the low pre amp output voltage and Pioneer's eq controls are a lil better than Alpines but thats my opinion. Ive owned Pioneer,Alpine and Kenwood. Kenwood is my first love and Pioneer is my bitch on the side.
