I have a PDX-1.600. Birthsheet says 740W RMS. SQ is tremendous.

THe PDX-4.100 should be fine to power those speakers as long as you cross them over properly. I have Polk SR-6500's which are rated very similarly for power. The speakers are the limiting factor , not the power of the 4.100 in this setup. That 4.100 puts out a lot of juice. If you are...

I would invest in a head unit with Time Alignment and nice Crossover features (and good EQ's). The Nakamichi decks lack in this regard. Having Time Laignment alone will make more of a difference in achieving the optimal sound in your car than just about anything else, particularly if your...

keep in mind these little amps are underrated. My 4.100 's birthsheet says it benched at 135W.

I have a new DXZ775usb and am trying to set the gains perfectly. Just wondering if there was any consensus on when Clarion receivers begin to clip, or is it different on every model?

well I went ahead and picked up one of these Clarions to try for myself. It has some promise so far, but there are a couple of issues I am having with it: this unit has 3 different ways of setting up the crossovers. 1."Normal"-front pair and rear pair both get highpassed at same frequency...

I have a PDX-4.100 powering some Pok SR-6500 components. There seems to be no lack of bass that I can hear. If you're using it to power a front stage set of comps, your speakers will most likely be the limiting factor in terms of low end with the PDX amp powering them. BTW, the birthsheet...

Then can you jsut give us the quick rundown on the specifics of what crossover settings and adjustability there and the same for TA? The manual is not clear as to what increments of adjustability there is for crossover frequencies, slopes, TA, etc.

So there is no way of playing pure digital signal from an ipod through USB huh? That's disappointing. So far only the Alpine and the Pioneer decks seem to be able to control the Ipod AND play it digitally. oh well..

can you be sure to give us the details on the USB functionality? Is it anice interface for playing tracks off of an external hard drive? Does it have full Ipod control and digital audio path through USB like the IDax001 and the p6900ub, or do you have to use the Clarion Ipod adapter? What is...

OK...a little OT: 6900ub and 690ub users: (I have the 6900 myself) 1.I have been trying to tune my system using the crossovers in the 6900. First of all, I thought the high pass crossover was supposed to have adjustable slope? I can't seem to adjust it, only can adjust frequencies. Does...

Looking for a deal on either new or used (but in excellent condition) 880prs but has to be under pioneer authorized warranty, and has to be free of any ground loop or noise problems! Hit me up: linhowe@gmail.com

What is the level of adjustability of the time alignment and how many channels? What are the crossover specs?

Do you know what the specs on the crossovers and time alignment on the Clarion unit? I am wanting a receiver that has built in crossovers(preferably 3-way or better) and time alignment with some real adjustability, and also has USB functionality for Ipod and HD use. I have the Pioneer P6900ub...

I don't have time to build my own box, but I just purchased a Polk SR124 dvc 12", and I need an experienced builder to build me a custom sealed 1.25 cubed box (slanted back, flat front) for the hatch/trunk of my '01 Saab 9-3. I need a box of the highest build and sound quality and precision...
