How much would an active set up be if I let a shop install? That would determine if I'm going to do active or passive..also, I wont install an amp for the speakers right away but will eventually

Don't laugh but what is active lol? I've heard good things about the Hertz XL online

A 2000 Lexus ES. My end goal is to sound deaden the 2 front doors, have a component system up front pushed by an amp, disable the rear speakers and 1 or 2 12s in the trunk. Most of the music will be rap so I don't really want real 'bright' highs. Any suggestions on what I should look at!? I...

I'm also looking at this Jvc arsenal JVC Arsenal KW-V100 DVD receiver at Crutchfield.com

Also how would the video quality be on the Pioneers? I know some double dins are LCD but not sure if that's the best technology out for the little screens

Ok I'm looking at those Pioneers. I don't like how theres no volume knob I know the buttons on the button look clean and flush but I'm just a big fan of the knob. I will never use HD radio so no concern. The 4700 and it's 7 in screen is a huge plus. I don't get what you mean by motorized...

I've had bad experience with Pioneer in the past. One of my single dins just died one day out of no where. This was at least 10 years ago. Are their double dins good quality??

So I plan to put a component system up front with an amp pushing those, 1 or 2 12s in the trunk. I upgraded my budget to $500. How is the Alpine IVE-W530? I really want a volume knob and not the buttons. Keep Hope Alive where are you!?

I was originally attempting to find one with Time Alignment but I dont think that's happening. What's going to be my best bet for SQ?

**** it what are the ones with Time Alignment? I couldnt find any on Crutchfield

Well I am also looking for one with Time Alignment. Is it possible to find one in my price range with that? I want great sound quality

thanks Trumpet. I also forgot to ask if there are double dins that don't have to slide forward to insert and remove discs? It would be nice if I could just slide them in like single dins. Also one that has good quality when watching movies

Hey guys. Ive been out of the loop for a while and am jumping back in the car audio world. Basically starting off with a double din for my 2000 Lexus ES. I had an Alpine a few years ago and was impressed with the sound but did not like so many audio options. This is basically what I'm looking...

I thought this was a good & accurate tool to use??

Because the doors are loud as **** on the freeway since its a civic? Does it make sense to u now?
