so is this head unit pretty much useless without an active setup? should i have got something else?

this is prob dumb but im dumb with car audio (hence im posting right now) but can coaxials not go active?

yeah youre probably right. but thanks for the advice tho buddy!

So anyway my head unit was stolen outta my car last week so I had to decide on a new one that the insurance would cover. I ended up getting the pioneer 800PRS, came in the mail today. Now the only thing left is to get it in there. I'm a complete newb to installation, the most I've ever done is...

just wonderin why you say that the pioneers were better? just because of sq, features or what?

oh yeah just to left u know what im working with 03 silverado crew cab: Memphis m-class coaxial speakers: 6" in front 4"in back 2 -10" mclass 104D subs, 200/400 under back seat power reference amp 1000w stinger wire

It's a tough decision...I'm tempted to go Alpine because of a better iPod interface and looks, but also to go pioneer because of SQ and bluetooth already installed. Anybody know if you can play an ipod through bluetooth somehow? Can anybody shed some light on the four to help me decide?

yeah i don't know why it didnt go off. They smashed the window and it still didnt i guess. Im definitely gonna look into a new alarm

ok i've narrowed it down to these: Alpine: iDA-X001 CDA-9887 or CDA-9886 Pioneer: DEH-P9800BT DEH-P7000BT DEH-P6000UB As far as the features I am concerned with: 1. An easy, quick IPod interface is very important. My old 8600 need the adapter since it was too old and the interface...

This is wrong btw, the CDIB100II adapter does work with the DEH-P8600MP. It's worked in my car for a year now.

Hey, I used to have the 8600mp and you have basically two options to hook it up with iPod, 1. FM transmitter and use it through the radio, but the sound quality will probably ****. 2. (What I did) Go buy the Pioneer iPod Interface adapter (model: CDIB100II) for about $50, you can buy them at...

The other day my car was broken into and my head unit was stolen. It was a Pioneer DEH-8600MP that I had for a few years that I really liked. I had the IPod adapter also installed for the unit. They do not sell this unit anymore but I want something about the same that will work with the pioneer...

yeah i was lookin at two m3s i was gonna see if 12s fit.

01' sierra

i wanna spend up to 500-600 on the subs and i want a nice balance of sq and sp, tho probably more pressure.
