New HU decision. Anything better for the money?


Recommended Posts

are you deadset on a pioneer?

you could get a lower end Alpine like the one I have (CDA-9884) and get the Imprint module for time correction, EQ's, and crossovers for around the same.

you might pay just a little more but everything will be new. and you also get the iPod interface

I'm not deadset on pioneer, I just like their usability. I like the fact that I can get all you just listed in one HU. Does Alpine have something similar? I am not at all familiar with Alpine.

the imprint module I am talking about you plug it in set all your stuff and then unplug it and your Alpine headunit is good to go.

from what I am presuming you want that in one headunit and not deal with all the hookups and everything else so I'm looking at the Alpine stuff.

on mine which was around $150 brand new I can control the high pass filter and what frequency the highs should be focused on with an adjustable bandwidth and same with the bass.

I am going to get the Alpine RUX-701 soon so I can have complete control.

Wouldnt be thehoe92 without teh purple

I like the 3-way crossover in the Pioneer as well. RUX-701? That would basically be built into the Pioneer right? Don't get me wrong, I'm not knocking your setup or anything, I just like the fact that the Pioneer has it all in one component.

I dont think I fully understand the capability of this imprint module.

Thanks for the recommendation but that HU is discontinued and doesn't have some of the features I want like 3-way crossover and time alignment adjustment.

That's a good price. I found what I was looking for though. It is in the first post. I was just curious if anyone knew of something similar for a better price.

Oh, of course. I'm not bashing you or your HU at all. It just doesn't have what I am looking for, that's all. Kinda like some people may not like the choice I made cause it doesn't play DVDs or something. Everyone wants something different.
