the 7998 is better than the 7897. im planning on getting the 98 b/c i wanna only run xover's off the head unit...and hopefully some eq'ing. it REALLY simplifies things, b/c i have non-standard equipment...im running a pair of horn tweets (image dynamics), and im gonna buy some seas lotus 7" drivers for mids, and my pair of brahma 15's for the lows...so its REALLY nice to be able to control all of that from the drivers seat, and not have to run extra cables, or complicate things any more than they already are. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gifOriginally posted by 02civic Along the same lines with that question what makes the 7897 better that the 7998?
****, sorry dude..... I looked at the wrong two models. The differences are like I said, the lack of amplifier......... The display......... And the 7995 has a silver finish w/blue lighting. But, you're right they both have bass engine plus.Originally posted by DeKaL44 from what i read at alpine.com the 7995 has bass engine plus, not pro
