[QUOTE="3.5Max6spd, post: 504624, member: 555373"] jackson....also keep in mind that supposedly Alpines sub outputs dont put out no where near 4v....I've heard this numerous times across various forums I take it to heart when a member can take my advice- I too wish the internet and other perspectives were available when i got into this game 10yrs ago- it would've saved me a lot of money on the long run, knowing what things to look for other than cosmetics or the obvious- There is no doubt in my mind that the 8454 is in the top as far audiophile grade HU's, its going to be discussed 5-10yrs from now on these here forums what a great deck it was by the people that were able to experience it- you can built ANY system with it and never worry about it being your weak link My annoyance with Alpine (although I still believe they are great decks) is that they have a gazilion 4v models across a pretty pricey range- having owned a few low line decks and one 9 series, (strait out of the box) only thing that separates them are cosmetics and bell and whistles-I could not tell the difference between them- but when I installed my 8v Eclipse, the second I inserted my first CD and piled on the volume without adjust anything and the EQ off it literally destroyed the perception I had of good quality sound- mind you that I was in a situation in which my dealer allowed me to plug in the HU, without a commitment to purchase- thank god for that opportunity, because I would be just like every other close minded person that thinks that anything over 4v doesn't create an audible difference in your system. Eclipse has one 8v model, one 5v model, the rest are 2.8's- so you know what you are getting I also encourage you to attempt to get together with some people and visit a few shops, I know my dealer was generous enough to get a few of his customers to swing through when I had a particular need to audition something I hope you take my advice and others as well and come to a conclusion in which YOU are content that your $$$ went into the best that your $$$ could get you. Good luck Manny [/QUOTE]
