CBRWorm, Sorry, I am not saying the fan run all the time. I have not own it yet. explorer2, Do you have any source for quiet fans? Any brand or model? Thanks

Arc 2500xxk users. I am about to pull the trigger on this but found out about the cooling fan. There is no cooling fan on my Arc 2100XXK. How loud is your amp's cooling fans? If I install it in the trunk of a mid size SUV, will I hear it at the driver seat when there is a pause in the music...

Please email me with prices and pictures. I can pay with paypal. Let me know if you have any references on this site or elitecaraudio.com. Thanks

AlphaKenny1 and Blue, I think you two had both make excellent points!!! I strongly agree with Alphakenny1 that tuning is essential for "repairing" acoustic defficiencies in a car cabin. An environment with a small volume, untreated hard reflecting surfaces, and limited speakers positions are...

Now you will have to tell me where can I get the Clarion for $750:)

I think I kind of highjack this thread and I apologize to the original poster. Actually, I am pretty proficient with tuning as the audio basic is similar to home audio. This setup would be my second. I have a freq sweep cd and a radio shack db meter for setting the eq. Is that how you do it...

Thanks. Sound like Alpine is the way to go as I am stuck with stock speaker location in my MDX. Can you use the graphic eq and paramatrix eq at the same time? Do you have to install the H701 close to the HU? Or is it as long as the Ai-net cable and optic cable allowed without distortion heard.

Hi, I have no doubt the 880PRS can't be beat for the price. If my budget is around $800~ $1000, would you still recommend the pioneer?

This will be the answer I am looking for in my post If you are speaking from experiences. Are you?

You are right about that! I really want a simple Head Unit as I could careless about features. But if these system tuning features made the car sound better, I will go with it. Are you recommeding the 880PRS over the Clarion? I have just heard the Pioneer at a local shop today. The system...

I take it as you guys think the Alpine combo sound better than Clarion. If that is tha case, where did you buy the alpine? Any pointers for new unit online?

OK guys, It sound like it all depend on the features I need. Man..this is a lot different than Home audio, where the simpler the equipment is the purer the signal, thence you got better sound! All the Eq, cross-over, and time alignment features become more important due to the difficult...

Yes, I am going with passive setup now. So are you saying the advantages of P9 and H701 are the Xover features? Is active setup significantly better than passive?

I believe you can get a Clarion for around $8~900, right? I will try to spend less than that unless you think the rest of my stuffs deserve better. What are the street price for P9 combo? The only feature I am hoping to get is the ability to retain the steering wheel audio controls...

I have just heard from a dealer that Clarion DRZ 9255 is being discontinued. Have anyone heard any news on the replacement? It is weird that it still shown on Clarion website. What other single din SQ HU available in US should I consider? I like Nakamichi but have heard enough horror stories...
