Deck for running Active 2-way, and Time alignment

[Bigg Boy]

What would you guys suggest for running a active 2 way setup, and the deck must have time alignment

My Idea's are

Alpine 9887

eclipse 7200 mkii

Any one have any other options

I am leaning toward the 9887

Pioneer Premier DEH-P880PRS! The 9887 is great , my buddy has it but the only thing is that your equalization is extremely limited unless you pair it with a h701 or something. I used to have an 880 and I loved it so much in fact if it had an optical output I would still be running it. I installed / tuned / used both the 9887 and the 880 and IMO the 880 takes the cake , dual 16 band EQ is a great tool as well you can actively change phase / crossover over point / crossover slope / level / signal delay on every single driver in your car without getting out of the drivers seat.

ehhh I have this thing against pioneer, its a long story.

Eq's wont be too big of a deal, the 5 band parametric eq will work fine sense I will have 5 bands for my tweeters, and mids

from what I have heard the eclipses are hard to tune

I run an alpine 9886 and not active but I like mine (well I am active but not using the headunit to do it)

P880 vs 9887 is one of the old-time debates of car audio... although it used to be the 9835 representing Alpine

Really comes down to which interface you prefer. They're both very capable decks.

my old eclipse units were not hard to tune at all... im partial to eclipse so my opinion is biased here... i would take the eclipse...

My vote goes to the deck in my sig

Whats the difference between the 880 and 800.

i say the 9887, sure the eq is a little limited, but with the 5 band parametric i got most of what needed eq'ing out of my front stage

theres not much of a difference tbh, the 880 is newer and darker...
