The x991 put the 9887 and prs 880 to shame in definition..
still haven't installed mine..how user friendly is it to setup the ta/crossovers/eq
its honestly not.....that friendly......it took me a good 4 hours to figure out how to set a radio station.....***** there is no paper manual so i had to download it on my phone and just keep it open........once you get the hang of TA tho everything else just falls into place....Quote:

I got the cd that came with it and read through the manual a few times, but it still seems complicated. Guess I just need to put it in and start messing with it
do it bro u will see
auto TA with the mic is painless. Manually setting it is contrived a bit.
Deck is by far the clearest thing I've ever heard, and papermaker, there is no lack in the highs on this one.
I wanted one before it came out. Then the first day it came out, we put one in my friends car. Its a pretty nice radio but I hate the way it looks. The knob is huge and the face looks and feels cheap like something youd see from an off brand radio. It looks a whole lot better off the computer than it does in real life. lol... I dont know if I wanna upgrade from my pioneer 860 to it. I do want those extra features but I love the way my 860 looks way more.
I wouldnt give it an 8/10 on looks, it should be more like 6/10. Everything else seems pretty accurate.
The only thing good about this deck is the 15 band Eq I hate the twist knob its not that responsive cranking up a deck to 59 is a pain it goes to 62 but 59 is where I like it the Bluetooth streaming is great haven't seen too many single dins do that yet unless my cda 117 was very out dated
I know every deck is different, but my old 4300 was distorting at 59. 58 was the loudest clean signal out of it. Haven't scoped this particular deck yet, but I set everything based on a 58 max again. Just an FYI. Remote makes short work of 15-20 clicks, dial isn't even necessary.Quote:

that's one thing I like on my x993...the remote has a button that instantly lowers the volume(not quite mute)
And I really like the way this one looks
there is a pause button on the remote i can use to pause...gonna get some velcro later to mount the remote to my dashQuote:

Just curious, how come you didn't get a newer alpine? I'm partial to Alpine H/U's and am wondering how they stack up against the new school competition...
