active capable head unit

[blakgtp 10+ year member]

I'm looking to buy a head unit that can run active. Preferably double din. I'm familiar with the 80prs and the cz702. Any others that I should consider? I don't really care about the fancy features, all I care about is a clean signal and high/low pass filters for 6 channels. Right now I'm considering buying this unit:

JVC KW-R900BT In-Dash Car Stereo Receiver w/ Bluetooth & Pandora

thoughts?

I did a search but can't find that unit anywhere for sale either. i'm not a fan of motorized/flip out screens anyways tbh

anyone ever use a jvc kw-r900bt before? Does it have the necessary crossovers to high/low pass my mids, tweets, and sub?

i know the Clarion CZ702 is an active capable head unit in that price range, not sure about that JVC, you should call or email sonic or JVC to find out if it is active capable.

I run my Alpine 9887 active on focal ps6.5s and Vifa xt25s tweets. It's a single din though. I really like it, just take a good amount of time to learn to work all features and navigate it easily.

after reading 50+ threads about the jvc, I found out that it only has a hf filter for the mids and tweets. Since I need a bandpass filter on the mids to run my active setup I ordered a clarion cz702. I had this headunit in my previous car and really liked it. For the price I figured, why not
