OK, my Sirius problem was related to the Sirius module. I have the Alpine IDA-X305 running IPOD, CD Changer, Sirius, Imprint and Bluetooth with no issues except making it sound as good as my Eclipse did. I got the IDA-X305 for the Ipod control but if you don't care about that I would say the...

I have had both and here are my two cents: 1) The Eclipse will blow away any Alpine in terms of sound quality and built in features. 2) The Alpine will blow anyone away in terms of IPOD control and a screen that you can actually read in the daytime with the sun shining. 3) The Alpine Imprint...

Well that certainly was a helpful comment. If you don't have anything useful to say then don't post crap like this.

Can anyone give me a little information as to what is good/bad with coaxial speakers. I am looking to add rear fill with coaxial 6.5 inch rear speakers. My system is top notch so I don't want to skim here. Here are the terms that I'm having problems with, which is best? Tweeter design -...
